Morning of April 25th
“Beloved, true repentance is sorrow for the sin itself: it has not only a dread of the death which is the wages of sin, but of the sin which earns the wages.
If you have no repentance for the sin itself, it is in vain that you should stand and tremble because of judgment to come. If judgment to come drives you, by its terrors, to escape from sin, you will have to bless God that you ever heard of those terrors, and that there were men found honest enough to speak plainly of them; but, I pray you, do not be satisfied with the mere fear of punishment, for it is of little worth.
The evil itself you must lament, and your daily cry must be, ‘Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.’”
- CH Spurgeon, “Two Essential Things”.
