Evangelical Repentance
Evangelical repentance (that repentance that is the immediate, inevitable fruit of regeneration) is, first and
foremost, a change of mind about the gospel, which includes God's character, who Christ is and what He
did, and the ground of salvation. It consists of a renouncing, an eschewing, a casting off, an abhorring, a
detesting, a turning away from belief in a false god, a false christ, and a false gospel, and an embracing, a
loving, a cherishing, a dedicating, a devoting oneself, a committing oneself to belief in the true God, the
true Christ, and the true gospel. It includes the acknowledgment that while one believed a false gospel, he
was dead in his sins, a hater of God, an open idolater, a producer of dead works, evil deeds, and fruit unto
death.
