The Doctrine of Repentance | Thomas Watson | Christian Audiobook
~ Audiobook Description ~
Repentance is not optional. It is not left to our choice whether or not we will repent, but it is an indispensable command. God has enacted a law in the High Court of heaven that no sinner will be saved except the repenting sinner, and he will not break his own law. No one can willfully continue in sin and expect to be covered by the blood of Christ. Even if all the angels stood before God and begged for the life of an unrepenting person, God would not grant it. The Lord God, compassionate and merciful, . . . who keeps faithfulness for thousands, . . . will by no means leave the guilty unpunished (Exodus 34:6-7). Though God is more full of mercy than the sun is of light, still He will not forgive a sinner who willfully continues to sin.
We have, by sin, wronged God. We have eclipsed his honor. We have infringed upon his law, and we should, reasonably, repent of our old ways. By repentance, we humble and judge ourselves for sin. We agree that God would be righteous if he destroyed us, and so we give glory to God and do what we can to repair his honor.
Dying to sin is the life of repentance. The very day a Christian turns from sin, he must require of himself a perpetual fast. The eye must fast from impure glances. The ear must fast from listening to slander. The tongue must fast from cursing. The hands must fast from bribes. The feet must fast from unclean paths. And the soul must fast from the love of wickedness. This turning away from sin implies a noticeable change in the lives of those who truly follow Christ.
Therefore let us, while we are on this side of the grave, make our peace with God!

Imagining your prosperity in the GOSPEL; FAITH COMING BY HEARING…You and a few others who propagate these inspired texts, the blessing be multiplied!
what's the minimum i have to do to get into
heaven? i mean i don't really want to go there cos christians are horrid immoral sinners to a man, but i don't
want to burn either, so what the absolute least i can do to get in? here must be a limit eh? and it would help
so many lazy people like me who just want to avoid hell, so what's the trick, what do i have to do to fool god
into admission? cos it seems to me people do an AWFUL lot of work when they just need to figure out a couple of
things and they can spend sunday constructively, instead being moaned at about how bad they are.
kisluxbag included, it is my unwavering belief that without being a practitioner, one will never perceive any dissimilarity in the sack's looks or the metallic elements.
