"Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." 2 Corinthians 7:10

Godly sorrow springs from a view of a suffering Saviour, and manifests itself by hatred of self—abhorrence of sin—groaning over our backsliding's—grief of soul for being so often entangled by our lusts and passions—and is accompanied by softness— melting's of heart—flowing's of love to the Redeemer—indignation against ourselves—and earnest desires never to sin more.
