Ezekiel 36:31

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Ezekiel 36:31. Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

Repentance is not the root of grace, but the lily-like flower of it. It is not a thing for the early morning of Christian life alone. Repentance will go side by side with faith all through the ways of righteousness, till we get to Heaven Gate. It is when we have most of mercy that we have most loathing for sin.

"Law and terrors do but harden All the while they work alone;

But a sense of blood-bought pardon Soon dissolves a heart of stone."
