PENITENCE

True faith is suffused with penitence. And just as faith is not only a momentary act but an abiding attitude of trust and confidence directed to the Savior, so repentance results in constant contrition. The broken spirit and the contrite heart are abiding marks of the believing soul. -- John Murray

 

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise(Psalm 5:17).

 

But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word (Isaiah 66:7b).

Fear of God

The fear of God is the soul of godliness. John Murray

 

And now....what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all HIs ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God will all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD....for your good? (Deuteronomy 10:12-13).

 

Fear God and give Him glory.... (Revelation 14:7)

Faith and Repentance

Good morning!

FAITH AND REPENTANCE

True faith is suffused with penitence. And just as faith is not only a momentary act but an abiding attitude of trust and confidence directed to the Savior, so repentance results in constant contrition. The broken spirit and the contrite heart are abiding marks of the believing soul. ---- John Murray
