The Gospel and the Means of Grace
What is repentance unto life?
Answer
Repentance unto life is a saving grace (Acts 11:18), whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin (Acts 2:37-38), and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ (Joel 2:12; Jeremiah 3:22), doth, with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it unto God (Jeremiah 31:18-19; Ezekiel 36:31), with full purpose of and endeavour after new obedience (2 Corinthians 7:11; Isaiah 1:16-17).
