II Corinthians 7:10 ” Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to Salvation and leaves no regret…”

Turning from sin is a sincere decision to forsake evil and begin to obey God. There is the initial repentance leading to true saving faith (Mark 1:15, Acts 3:19) but more importantly, there’s the ongoing turning from sin on a daily basis in the life of every Christian. David wrote of this in Psalm 51:12, when his spiritual dullness had lead to moral bankruptcy…taking him far from his first love of the Lord. “Restore to me the joy of Your Salvation and grant me a willing Spirit to sustain me.” Repentance is a change of mind that leads to a change of action on our part and promises restoration, or as Isaiah wrote, “In repentance and rest is Your Salvation, in quietness and trust is Your strength…” (Isaiah 30:15)
