“Whatever the cost of repentance, it is swallowed up in the joy of forgiveness.”

“What we love once, we love forever. Shall there be joy in heaven over those who repent, yet no forgiveness for them upon earth?--"Wanda”

“The saved sinner is prostrate in adoration, lost in wonder and praise. He knows repentance is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness; it is what we do because we have been forgiven. It serves as an expression of gratitude rather than an effort to earn forgiveness. Thus the sequence of forgiveness and then repentance, rather than repentance and then forgiveness, is crucial for understanding the gospel of grace.”

“Nothing erases the past. There is repentance, there is atonement, and there is forgiveness. That is all, but that is enough.”

“Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin.”

“There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth, which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant!”
