- Description:
- Sermon written by Reverend Henry Newton on the nature of true repentance. Newton begins by describing Paul's journey to Macedonia to preach the Gospel and how he came to tell them to repent. Newton then describes how repentance from fear of punishment isn't true repentance. Newton sees true repentance as coming from a deep sense of evil and sin, a mourning for it as committed against God, and an earnest desire for deliverance. He also describes how repentance is the fruit of faith, how it flows from love of God, that it is a daily exercise, and that it includes a reformation of one's heart and life.
