Quotes about Repentance

Revival begins by Christians getting right first and then spills over into the world.

If anyone feels his sins, let him come at once, straight, direct, not merely to church, or to the sacrament, or to repentance, or to prayer, but to Christ Himself.

Prayer for revival will prevail when it is accompanied by radical amendment of life; not before.

For a successful season of prayer, the best beginning is confession.

O Lord forgive what I have been sanctify what I am and order what I shall be.

How many of us will ever sit... bow our heads and pray "Lord show me where I'm wrong"?

When my children do wrong I ache to hear their stumbling requests for forgiveness. I'm sure our heavenly Father aches even more deeply to hear from us.

In a short time God began to manifest His power and soon the building could not contain the people. Now the meetings continue all day and into the night and the fire is kindling all over the city and surrounding towns. Proud, well-dressed preachers come in to "investigate." Soon their high looks are replaced with wonder, then conviction comes, and very often you will find them in a short time wallowing on the dirty floor, asking God to forgive them and make them as little children.

When we come to grips with the true state of our condition, we are ready to fully appreciate what God has done to rescue us from ourselves. It is imperative that we take seriously our true condition as fallen human beings.

When you put it together, it looks like this: Our natural condition is weak and fallen and our temptations are numerous; God is infinitely holy, yet He offers forgiveness, grace and enabling power to those who get honest with Him and are willing to repent.

we know that our Sovereign is "Long suffering, and easy to be entreated;" more ready to grant, than we to ask, forgiveness.

Grace doesn't lead us into destructive behavior. Sin does. And grace is the only remedy for sin. The kindness of God leads to repentance.
