True Repentance, in Four Parts By Dr Phil Ryken

Charles Spurgeon's sermon "Christ's First and Last Subject" is on repentance, which Christ preached both at the beginning (see Matthew 4:17) and at the end (see Luke 24:47) of his earthly ministry.Spurgeon's taxonomy of true and saving repentance is a good one -- something preachers can use and believers can emulate.

"True repentance," he says, "consists of illumination, humiliation, detestation, and transformation."
