Chapter 15: Of Repentance Unto Life and Salvation

In this episode, you'll hear a reading of Chapter 15 from the 1689 London Baptist Confession on "Of Repentance Unto Life and Salvation." This chapter covers the confession's teachings on biblical repentance as an evangelical grace. It describes repentance as a gospel blessing, wherein a person is made sensible of the manifold evils of their sin, so as to be humbled for it with godly sorrow, detestation of it, and self-abhorrence. The chapter outlines the nature, causes, and effects of such repentance unto life. It also distinguishes it from other kinds of sorrow and repentance found in the unregenerate. The necessity of repentance for pardon and salvation is also affirmed.
