The origins of repentance


Hence it is evident, that never a good thought, never a penitent thought would have come into our hearts, had not some thoughts of peace and good-will come into God's heart. When he remembers his covenant of mercy for us, so as not to remember our sins against us, then we remember our sins against ourselves with shame. 

- Gospel Humiliation, Ralph Erskine (referring to Eze 16:60-61)
