More From Hannah More

There are still people who insist that we have to preach on repentance. well, i disagree! i think we should do it god’s way – preach the goodness of god and allow the goodness of god to lead people to repentance. such repentance will be true repentance. it will not be motivated by the fear of judgment and indignation. it will be a genuine repentance that is motivated by his grace, unconditional love and compassion. after all, our ability to love god stems from our first tasting his love for us.
Unconditional Love Thinking Compassion
We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.
Loss People Justice
My own idea, for what it is worth, is that all sadness which is not either arising from the repentance of a concrete sin and hastening towards concrete amendment or restitution, or else arising from pity and hastening to active assistance, is simply bad; and i think we all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to 'rejoice' as much as by anything else. humility, after the first shock, is a cheerful virtue.

Repentance is a realization that what god wants from you and what you want from god are not going to be achieved by doing the same old things, thinking the same old thoughts. repentance is a decision to follow jesus christ and become his pilgrim in the path of peace. repentance is the most practical of all words and the most practical of all acts. it is a feet-on-the-ground-kind-of-word. it puts a person in touch with the reality that god creates.
Jesus Reality Thinking
Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
The saved sinner is prostrate in adoration, lost in wonder and praise. he knows repentance is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness; it is what we do because we have been forgiven. it serves as an expression of gratitude rather than an effort to earn forgiveness. thus the sequence of forgiveness and then repentance, rather than repentance and then forgiveness, is crucial for understanding the gospel of grace.
