REPENTANCE - Urgency | 悔改 - 迫切 |
If we lose out time to repent, we shall repent for
ever that we once lost our time. Thomas Adams 如果我們未曾把握悔改的時間,我們會為此懊悔不以。 |
None can be too young to
amend that is old enough to die. Thomas Adams 只要你活著,什麼時候改過都不嫌年輕,畢竟人隨時都可能死去。 |
A religion that does not begin with repentance is
certain to end there - perhaps too late. Augustine 一個沒有以懺悔為開端的宗教,最終必定會止於懺悔—或許為時已晚。 |
Though after this life
repentance be perpetual, it is in vain. Augustine 就算人死後才一直後悔,也沒用了啦。 |
You cannot repent too soon, because you do not know
how soon it may be too late. Thomas Fuller 懺悔永不嫌早,因不知何時已為時過晚。 |
If God's today be too soon
for thy repentance, thy tomorrow may be too late for his acceptance. William Secker 如果今天上帝給你懺悔的機會你覺得太早,那明天可能祂就不會接受你的悔改了。 |
Sin and hell are married unless repentance proclaims
the divorce. C. H. Spurgeon 罪惡與地獄結為連理,除非悔改宣告兩者離異。 |
He who promised forgiveness
to them that repent has not promised repentance to them that sin. Ralph Venning 祂答應會原諒那些肯真心懺悔的人,但沒說會讓那些犯罪的人一定有機會悔改。。 |
