It could be argued that "repentance" is one of the least used words in the Christian church today. In a world that doesn't tolerate the mention of sin, and in churches where it has been defined only in sociological terms, the biblical teaching on repentance has been inevitably ignored. Knowing what repentance is and truly repenting is essential for true Christianity. Jesus Christ himself said that if we do not repent, we will perish. Therefore, it is vital to read and study what Scripture has to say on this subject.
Few better guides have existed in this or any other area of spiritual experience than Thomas Watson. He was a master of both Scripture and the human heart, and he wrote with a simplicity and directness that keeps his work fresh and powerful for the 21st century.
