Tokens of Repentance
Mark 1:15
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent you, and believe the gospel.


The signs of true repentance are —

(1)  Carefulness not to fall into our former sins again;

(2)  holy indignation against ourselves for our sins past;

(3)  a greater hatred of all sin, than we ever had a love for it;

(4)  constant striving against secret sins;

(5)  thorough obedience rendered cheerfully to all God's commands.

(G. Petter.)
