You should not expect to arrive in heaven if you will not walk in the way of repentance.

Do not expect to arrive in heaven without walking the way of repentance.

Consider the weight of Jesus’s words: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17). If repentance is necessary for eternal life, we would do well to understand it, take it to heart, and put it into action.

In The Way of Repentance, William Perkins carefully explains the nature and practice of repentance in the Christian life. He goes on to remind us that it is a matter of kingdom warfare, describing this call to repentance as a lifelong battle with our sinful flesh. Finally, Perkins extends a powerful exhortation to personal repentance. The way of repentance is not easy, but by God’s grace, you will see that the destination is more than worth the fight.
