Description

Verses on sin, repentance, and God's mercy to undeserving sinners. These verses are not only convicting, but are great verses to use when evangelizing. Repentance is not just "saying you are sorry", but turning away from our sins, and without the Holy Spirit, we could not truly repent.

“Many mourn for their sins that do not truly repent of them, weep bitterly for them, and yet continue in love and league with them.” Matthew Henry
