True Repentance

How The Way to God and How to Find It develops True Repentance.

The book clarifies that repentance is not merely feeling sorry, fasting, or breaking one sin, but a complete turning around—a change of mind and direction away from sin toward God.

Where it surfaces

  • Repentance and Restitution

    Moody defines repentance as a complete change of mind and direction, not merely fear, feeling, or remorse. It involves turning from all sin and producing fruit.

  • IX: Backsliding

    Emphasizes the need to acknowledge iniquity and turn back to God as the first step of restoration.
