Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. (2 Corinthians 7:10, New International Version)
Just being sorry (especially when we are found out!) is not enough – for we will most probably continue in the wrongdoing and this brings spiritual death (separation from God). Godly sorrow will be accompanied by repentance (a change of mind and heart). This ‘leads to salvation and leaves no regret’.
“For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?”
But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16, NIV)
May the mind of Christ my Saviour
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.
