What is repentance? It is turning from sin to holiness; from sin, which is the shame and reproach of our nature, to holiness which is its honour and its glory; from sin, which is the abominable thing that God hates, to holiness which is infinitely amiable in his sight; from sin, which acts the tyrant over all who are subject to its power, to holiness which constitutes the most perfect freedom that a rational creature can enjoy; from sin, which makes us liable to eternal condemnation, to holiness which implies our acceptance of the appointed Saviour, and fits us for eternal life.
Andrew Thomson — Sermons and Sacramental Exhortations (Edinburgh: William Whyte and Co., 1831), Sermon XIX, "The Accepted Time" (2 Cor. 6:2), p. 438
