   #WhiteRepentanceMonth - Day #3 Reformed Baptist Definition of Repentance
   
   Konnichiwa, Fedi!
   
   Such of the elect that are converted at riper years, having sometime lived in the state of nature, and therein served divers pleasures, God in their effectual calling gives them repentance to life.1
   1. Titus 3:2–5
   
   Whereas there is none that does good and does not sin,2 and the best of men may, through the power and deceitfulness of their corruption dwelling in them, with the prevalency of temptation, fall in to great sins and provocations; God has, in the covenant of grace, mercifully provided that believers so sinning and falling be renewed through repentance unto salvation.3
   2. Eccles. 7:20
   3. Luke 22:31–32
   
   This saving repentance is an evangelical grace,4 whereby a person, being by the Holy Spirit made sensible of the manifold evils of his sin, does, by faith in Christ, humble himself for it with godly sorrow, detestation of it, and self–abhorrancy,5 praying for pardon and strength of grace, with a purpose and endeavor, by supplies of the Spirit, to walk before God unto all well–pleasing in all things.6
   4. Zech. 12:10; Acts 11:18
   5. Ezek. 36:31; 2 Cor. 7:11
   6. Ps. 119:6,128
   
   As repentance is to be continued through the whole course of our lives, upon the account of the body of death, and the motions thereof, so it is every man’s duty to repent of his particular known sins particularly.7
   7. Luke 19:8; 1 Tim. 1:13,15
   
   Such is the provision which God has made through Christ in the covenant of grace for the preservation of believers unto salvation, that although there is no sin so small but it deserves damnation,8 yet there is no sin so great that it shall bring damnation to them that repent,9 which makes the constant preaching of repentance necessary.
   8. Rom. 6:23
   9. Isa. 1:16–18, 55:7

     I could not find a good portrait of a Baptist from the 1600's. hence why there is no representative pic of the guys who made the 1689LBC. Modern search sucks.
     
     Hopefully, the next guys will have pics.

     @SuperSnekFriend PS: I always appreciate when dudes post scripture to validate their beliefs, especially when it's topical and concise like this.
