In order to be
forgiven of sins, one must first repent. In order to repent, one must first
have godly sorrow. Some people do not repent because they are not really sorry.
But there is another kind of sorrow – the sorrow of the world –that does not
lead to repentance, but leads to death.
If godly sorrow
is necessary in order to repent and receive salvation, but there is another
kind of sorrow that leads to death, then surely we need to know the difference.
What is the
difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow? How do we recognize when we
or others have a proper sorrow for our sins?
