四十三、悔改得生

76问：悔改得生是什么？

答：悔改得生是一种上帝所赐的与救恩相伴的美德（提后2:25），是圣灵（亚12:10）和圣言（徒11:18，20－21）在罪人的心中做成的，由此，

  1. 罪人意识到罪的危险性（结18:28，30，32；路15:17－18；何2:6－7）；
  2. 认识到罪的污秽和丑陋（结36:31；赛30:22）；
  3. 领悟上帝在基督里对悔改者的怜悯（珥2:12－13）；
  4. 因此为自己的罪忧伤难过（耶31:18－19）；
  5. 并产生恨恶之情（林后7:11）；
  6. 从而转离一切罪，归向上帝（徒26:18；结14:6；王上8:47－48）；
  7. 并立定心志，竭力以新的顺服，在各个方面与主同行（诗119:6，59，128；路1:6；王下23:25）。

Q. 76. What is repentance unto life?

A. Repentance unto life is a saving grace, wrought in the heart of a sinner by the Spirit and Word of God, whereby, out of the sight and sense, not only of the danger, but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins, and upon the apprehension of God’s mercy in Christ to such as are penitent, he so grieves for and hates his sins, as that he turns from them all to God, purposing and endeavoring constantly to walk with him in all the ways of new obedience.
