Thomas Watson on Repentance
“Repentance is not arbitrary. It is not left to our choice whether or not we will repent, but it is an indispensable command. God has enacted a law in the High Court of heaven that no sinner shall be saved except the repenting sinner, and He will not break His own law.”
“There are two sorts of persons who will find it harder to repent than others: Those who have sat a great while under the ministry of God’s ordinances but grow no better. Those who have sinned frequently against the convictions of the Word, the checks of conscience, and the motions of the Spirit.”
“A piece of lead, while it is in the lump, can be put to no use, but melt it, and you may then cast it in to any mould, and it is made useful. So a heart that is hardened into a lump of sin is good for nothing, but when it is dissolved by repentance it is useful. A melting heart is fit to pray.”
“It is natural to us to procrastinate and put off repentance.”
