Sorry!

Sorry!

When a word just won't cut it.

May be an image of text that says 'Bvs VS Godły Worldly Sorrow Sorrow'

 

Sorry!

It takes but a split second to say but IS THAT ENOUGH! The Bible tells us, "No!"


There are two kinds of sorrow: godly and worldly. Worldly sorrow is anything else, anything NOT godly. Self-pity is not godly sorrow either. Repentance is essential here!


If our sorrow is godly, it brings forth repentance (change; turning back; returning) that will lead to salvation. If you believe that, no matter what you do, "you're in," then you reject the word of God! How? Where is the regret, godly sorrow that brings forth the return? The fact of the matter is that, when we fall, we must confess and have that godly sorrow.

Indifference to sin because you think you've already got your ticket is WORLDLY TEACHING! Sadly, many are deceived.

 

* I'll take GOD'S WORD for it! Will you?

2 Corinthians 7:9-10 (NASB)


9 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. 10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
