PONDERING DEEP SPIRITUAL ISSUES – Chapter 5 – Part 17 – Mailing #157 – excerpt from The TRAGEDY and GLORY of BELIEVERS

u) REPENTANCE IS NOT DELIVERANCE. Repentance is our remorse, our willingness and decision to turn from our way and follow the light the Lord shows us. The goodness of God leads us to repentance (Rom. 2:4b) and it is the beginning of our deliverance, not the deliverance itself. How are we then delivered? After our repentance, the...
