Repentance—a 180 degree turn from one's sin to the Savior—is an essential element in salvation, along with faith in Christ alone. However, repentance is also an ongoing discipline of the Christian life and part of our progressive sanctification. In this message we take a close look at 2 Corinthians 7 to learn about the kind of sorrow that leads to true repentance.
