Repentance toward God – Faith toward Christ
“...testifying
both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance
toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”
-ACTS
20:21 [KJV]
Repentance is the hand releasing my idols; faith is an empty hand that reaches out to Christ for His gift of grace. Repentance is godly sorrow over sin; faith receives a full pardon from Christ. Repentance cries, “God be merciful to me a sinner”; faith embraces the sinner’s Saviour.
Repentance is a genuine hatred for the pollution of sin; faith is seeking cleansing in Christ. Repentance is the leper covering his mouth and crying, “Unclean, unclean”;
faith is the leper coming to Christ and saying, “Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean” (LUKE 5:12).
