The Right Kind Of Sorrow

 

Today's verse is 2 Corinthians 7:10

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

   It is without a doubt that we all have occasion to be sad; for it is of a truth that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” And while sin may be joyful for a season, it will always bring sorrow and destruction later, for, “We reap what we sow.” To some this sorrow is without hope, because they do not know the grace of God, and have good cause to fear his Wrath. However, God is gracious, and he is willing that none should perish, but that all should repent, and if we come to him confessing our sins, he will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So have you sinned? Be sorry, but come to the God that loves you, and will, if you confess your sin, receive you with open arms, lifting you up out of the mire, and setting you on a firm path. Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
