2 Corinthians 7:10 (NKJV) 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As I read and then re-read this verse, it became very clear as to the difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Godly sorrow produces genuine remorse, leading to repentance, a change of heart and a change of behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Worldly sorrow produces no repentance, and eventually leads to death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Because godly sorrow understands and recognizes accountability to God and His standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Worldly sorrow has no real source of accountability, so there is no standard by which to judge our actions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And many times, worldly sorrow isn\u2019t pure in its motives. A person may be sorry that they got caught doing something, but not actually sorry (remorseful) for whatever it is that they did.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Remorse is the key difference between the two types of sorrow. Remorse is what causes us to regret what we\u2019ve done, not just feel bad about getting caught. Remorse is what will cause us to change our behavior and do our very best to cease doing whatever it was that we did wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only God\u2019s spirit can bring true remorse and repentance. Even in a person who knows little or nothing of God, our God-given conscience will go a long way toward helping us correct our errors, if we will allow it to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the end, it all comes down to God. He makes the difference between sorrow and genuine repentance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
