II Corinthians 7:9-11
Excerpted from: Psalm Genres (Part Six): Penitential PsalmsDoes not Paul say that godly sorrow produces repentance? That is II Corinthians 7. Let us look at that, just three verses. I am not going to spend a lot of time here, but I want you to note what Paul says this produces. Once God forgives you, once you have repented in dust and ashes and tears and all these things, what actually godly sorrow produces in the person, how it changes from sorrow to something else. So starting in verse 9, Paul writes,
And so this is the kind of thing that David is longing for in Psalm 6. He knows that if he sorrows in a godly way and that he changes, there is going to be a great benefit on the other side, and he wants those things. He wants the clearing. He wants the vindication. He wants the zeal. He wants all of those things because that is a far better place to be than in this burdensome position where sin is just weighing down on a person.
II Corinthians 7:9-11
Excerpted from: Have You Become an Example to All Who Believe?So the remorse of our sins or failing to keep our words should lead to change in behavior. Many people only regret the consequences of their sin or broken word or being caught, similar to worldly sorrow. Compare Peter's remorse and repentance with Judah's bitterness and suicide. Both denied Christ. One repented and was restored to faith and service. The other took his own life.
