A Beautiful Explanation of the True Nature of Repentance


Kevin DeYoung:
Repentance has never been easy. No one likes to be told “Die to yourself. Kill that in you. Admit you are wrong and change.” That’s never been an easy sell. It’s much easier to get a crowd by leaving out the repentance part of faith, but it’s not faithful. It’s not even Christianity.

Repentance has always been hard, always will be hard.
