“True repentance is to be no longer bound in the same sins for which He denounced death against Himself, but to
eradicate them completely from the soul. For on their extirpation God takes up His abode again in thee. For it is
said there is great and exceeding joy and festival in the heavens with the Father and the angels when one sinner
turns and repents.”

“ After I strayed, I REPENTED; after I came to understand, I beat my breast. I was ashamed
and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.”
Jeremiah 31:19
![Page 6: Final Repentance is · “Repentance, then, is an effect of faith. For unless a man believe that to which he was addicted to be sin, he will not abandon it; and if he do not believe](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071119/60185ab62e441452ca7b499f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember then from what you have fallen; REPENT, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from
its place, unless you repent.”
Revelation 2:4-5
![Page 7: Final Repentance is · “Repentance, then, is an effect of faith. For unless a man believe that to which he was addicted to be sin, he will not abandon it; and if he do not believe](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071119/60185ab62e441452ca7b499f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“Repentance, then, is an effect of faith. For unless a man believe that to which he was addicted to be sin,
he will not abandon it; and if he do not believe punishment to be impending over the transgressor, and salvation to be the portion of him who lives according to
the commandments, he will not reform.”
Clement of Alexandria (A.D. 195)
![Page 8: Final Repentance is · “Repentance, then, is an effect of faith. For unless a man believe that to which he was addicted to be sin, he will not abandon it; and if he do not believe](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071119/60185ab62e441452ca7b499f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“We avoid repentance because we remain addicted to the drug of self-justification. “I don’t need to repent because I’m the one
righteously calling out the social and personal sins of others.” Or “If I say I am complicit, it will give my political and social enemies
leverage against me and my cause.” Or even more to the point, “If I were to really look at and then acknowledge how much self-
centeredness and pride infects even my most righteous actions, I would have to admit I’m a hypocrite and a moral failure.”
