Chapter 15: Of Repentance to Life
1. Repentance to life is an evangelical grace,a the doctrine of which is to be preached by every minister[1] of the Gospel, to the same degree as the doctrine of faith in Christ.b
aZechariah 12:10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 11:18 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bLuke 24:47 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Mark 1:15 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 20:21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
2. By repentance to life a sinner has the sight and sense not only of the danger, but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins, which are contrary to the holy nature and righteous law of God. Also, the sinner comprehends God’s mercy in Christ to those who are penitent. He therefore grieves for and hates his sins, so as to turn from all of them to God,a purposing and endeavoring to walk with Him in all the ways of His commandments.b
aEzekiel 18:30–31 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Ezekiel 36:31 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Isaiah 30:22 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 51:4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Jeremiah 31:18–19 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Joel 2:12–13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Amos 5:15 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
; Psalm 119:128 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Corinthians 7:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bPsalm 119:6,
59, 106 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 1:6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Kings 23:25 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
3. Repentance is not to be trusted in as any satisfaction for sin, or as any cause of the pardon of sin;a this pardon is the act of God’s free grace in Christ.b Yet, repentance is of such necessity to all sinners that none may expect pardon without it.c
aEzekiel 36:31–32 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Ezekiel 16:61–63 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bHosea 14:2, 4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 3:24 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Ephesians 1:7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cLuke 13:3, 5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 17:30–31 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
4. Every sin, no matter how small, deserves damnation.[2], a But there is no sin so great that it can bring damnation upon those who truly repent.b
aRomans 6:23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 5:12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 12:36 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bIsaiah 55:7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
; Romans 8:1 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Isaiah 1:16, 18 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
5. Men ought not to content themselves with a general repentance, but it is every man’s duty to endeavor to repent of his particular sins, particularly.
Psalm 19:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 19:8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Timothy 1:13, 15 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
6. Every man is bound to make private confession of his sins to God, praying for the pardon of them;a upon which, and the forsaking of them, he will find mercy.b Similarly, he that sinfully offends against[3] his brother or the Church of Christ ought to be willing, by a private or public confession and sorrow for his sin, to declare his repentance to those who are offended.c The offended are then to be reconciled to him, and in love to receive him.d
aPsalm 51:4–5, 7, 9, 14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 32:5–6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bProverbs 28:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 John 1:9 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cJames 5:16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 17:3–4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Joshua 7:19 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 51 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; d2 Corinthians
