Originál: (en) True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation — in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace, — in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.
