Repentance can be done is sorrows or in joy. It depends what you have been taught and know of God and His gospel.
First of all Repentance is turning away from that which is evil and turning towards which is Good.[Walking in the Light as Christ is in the Light]
---------------------------
<> Repentance in Sorrows often drives the Holy Ghost away...and this is the time when we need him most. With sorrows often comes despair and defeatism.
<> Repentance in Joy is the acceptance of our errors and we know that often a penalty is incurred. Chastisement follows and we are grateful for it. Because we know that we learn obedience by the things we suffer.
Hebrews 5:8 - Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Repentance is learning to WALK in the LIGHT AS CHRIST IS IN THE LIGHT.
1 John 1:7 -
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Peace be unto you
