Of Repentance Unto Life - 02

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical doctrine of repentance unto life, emphasizing that true repentance is a gracious gift from God that leads to faith in Jesus Christ and spiritual rest. It contrasts the hopeless regret of Judas with the hopeful restoration of Peter, illustrating that repentance involves godly sorrow, humility, and a turning toward Christ for pardon and strength. The preacher stresses that repentance is not merely self-loathing but a continual, Spirit-empowered turning from sin throughout the Christian life. Ultimately, repentance and faith are effects of the new life God grants, not the cause of salvation.
