The Doctrine of Repentance
Watson lays out the anatomy of true repentance, showing from Scripture that it consists of sight of sin, sorrow for sin, confession, shame, hatred of sin, and turning from it. With his trademark warmth and pointed directness, he distinguishes genuine godly sorrow from its counterfeits and shows why repentance is essential to real Christianity.
Based on The Doctrine of Repentance (1668), by Thomas Watson

In Thomas Watson's own words
“It is better to go with difficulty to heaven, than with ease to hell.”
“Faith and repentance preserve the spiritual life, as heat and water preserve the physical life.”
