Repentance must keep pace

“With every increase of mercy you receive from God there will be an accompanying increase of responsibility. . . . As you grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and receive more and more of His mercies with each passing day, your repentance must keep pace.  Any failure here is an open demonstration of a lack of love and appreciation for the boundless mercies of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Tragic is the case of any individual whose repentance does not increase with the gifts and graces of God he daily receives.”

- Richard Owen Roberts, Repentance: The First Word of the Gospel, 297.
