WHICH SORROW IS THAT?

2 Corinthians 7:10

"For Godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death." ESV

There is a huge difference between Godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. Godly sorrow comes from realizing we have sinned against our Lord and that this sin must be stopped now so that we can be right with God. Worldly sorrow results from being found out, caught in our sin, and being resentful we will pay the consequences.

Heavenly Father, we stand humbly before You and ask for spiritual sensitivity to the sins we commit against You and others. We ask that our consciences produce Godly sorrow so that our sins will be washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ. In His name we pray, Amen.

GODLY SORROW

There are two kinds of remorse for doing a sinful action. Godly
remorse is based on knowledge and acceptance that God has
been offended by our actions and we are ashamed that we have
dishonored Him. We will then get rid of that sin, forsaking it and
walking in the way to eternal life. Worldly remorse is based on
awareness of being caught and embarrassed that others know we
have done wrong. This type of remorse puts us in danger of eternal
separation from God.

Read 2 Corinthians 7:10

"Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves
no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." (NIV)

"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented
of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." (KJV)
