- 88 What is involved in genuine repentance or conversion?
Two things: the dying-away of the old self, and the coming-to-life of the new.
- 89 What is the dying-away of the old self?
It is to be genuinely sorry for sin, to hate it more and more, and to run away from it.
- 90 What is the coming-to-life of the new self?
It is wholehearted joy in God through Christ and a delight to do every kind of good as God wants us to.
- 91 What do we do that is good?
Only that which arises out of true faith, conforms to God’s law, and is done for His glory; and not that which is based on what we think is right or on established human tradition.
