Legal Repentance versus Evangelical Repentance


Legal Repentance

Evangelical Repentance

1

Flows from a sense of danger and fear of wrath

Flows from a true mourning over sin and earnest desire to be delivered from sin

2

Flows from unbelief

Flows from saving faith

3

Flows from an aversion to God and His law

Flows from love for God and His law

4

Accompanied by discouragement

Accompanied by a confiding trust in God’s mercy

5

Almost always temporary

Daily exercise

6

Produces only a partial and external reformation

Produces a change of heart

 Dr. Joel Beeke
