Ahab'S Demise And Worldly Humility

In his guide to the WCF, Chad Van Dixhoorn helpfully points out that,

"Sinners may sink into great depths of sorrow for sin, but we need to understand that remorse is not the same thing as repentance. What Paul calls a 'godly sorrow' is distinguished from 'worldly sorrow' by a Godward change (2 Cor. 7:11). True repentance not only sorrows for sin but sees a Saviour. This is so important to grasp. As we consider what God thinks of sin, we must also consider his mercy to sinners."[2]
