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

沒有一個人會嫌太年輕去修補那早已老得讓他滅亡的罪惡。

A religion that does not begin with repentance is certain to end there - perhaps too late.

一個宗教若非始於悔改就必停在那兒 - 或許嫌太遲了。

Though after this life repentance be perpetual, it is in vain.

Augustine

縱然今生之後不斷悔改,亦負枉然。

You cannot repent too soon, because you do not know how soon it may be too late.

Thomas Fuller

你不會悔改得過早的,因為你不知道多快你就會覺得或許太遲了。

If God's today be too soon for thy repentance, thy tomorrow may be too late for his acceptance.

William Secker

如果上帝的今日對你的悔改而言太早了,那你的明日對祂的接納可能就太遲了。

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

上帝應許賜與悔改的人赦罪,卻為應許賜與犯罪的人悔改。
