Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
2 Corinthians 7: 1
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
2 Corinthians 7: 10- 11
What I heard from Jesus today is: You need Holiness and Godly Sorrow!
Holiness and Godly sorrow go together. Paul wrote his first letter to the church in Corinth telling them they were wrong. That letter hurt all of them and brought that Godly sorrow. Sometime when you have a good friend telling you that you are wrong you would not be happy or even you might cut relationship with him or her. But if what your friend is right then his or her warning may give you a chance to repent of your sin. That is where Godly sorrow comes from. It comes from the Holy Spirit giving you warning to repent so that you can be in holiness again.
Recently I prayed with two men and when I asked what did they wanted me to pray for I was shock but thankful to hear their answer. Both of them were so frank to ask for prayers that they can be pulled out from pornography. I told them that the only way is to ask Jesus to help them the next time when they wanted to watch pornography again. Win one war at a time and they have a better chance to get back to a lifestyle of Christlikeness.
Do you have that Godly sorrow now? Do you know what you need to do to become holy?
Dear Holy Spirit,
Come and give us that Godly sorrow so that we can lead a life of Christlikeness. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
