Chapter 15: Of Repentance unto Life

3. Although repentance be not to be rested in, as any satisfaction for sin, or any cause of the pardon thereof,¹ which is the act of God’s free grace in Christ;² yet it is of such necessity to all sinners, that none may expect pardon without it.³

Ezekiel 36:31-32

Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations. It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord God; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

Ezekiel 16:61-63

Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of the covenant with you. I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the Lord, that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”

Isaiah 43:25

“I, I am he
who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
and I will not remember your sins.

(ESV)
