Repentance that leads to Salvation.

This speaks of mourning over sin, the godly sorrow that produces repentance leading to salvation without regret ( 2Co 7:10 ). The “comfort” is the comfort of forgiveness and salvation (cf. Is 40:1 , 2 ).
God’s common grace, extends to all who call upon him. He is not any God though, he is the one true and only God.
I pray Lord, that we remember, that when we gave our life to you, we would be part of the workers, who help bring in the harvest. Use us Lord, for a bountiful harvest, for you Glory.
How wonderful to know that the God who created and has given us everything, just wants a grateful heart that gives back to him, what he has already given to us. How generous should we be to him and others, since God has freely given to us. May we all be changed by this verse everyday as we are reminded of this.
We are free from the curse of the law forever, to those who receive freely, the gift of grace by faith alone. Our works to earn salvation,will only bring stress & worry, because only Jesus was able to fulfill the law and set us FREE! Won’t you turn to him today? He is waiting.
What are you building your house upon, worldly wisdom, or the word of God. Give glory to God, not man. He cannot save you. Who do you choose?
Even in the midst of judgment, opportunity to repent was given. If they would demonstrate genuine repentance, the Lord stood ready to forgive and bless. A lesson for all, that God is merciful, and wants all to repent and turn back to him.
Here is the context from the verse before it………….. BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK ; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.

Refers to an ancient Egyptian custom in which a person who wanted to show public contrition carried a pan of burning coals on his head. The coals represented the burning pain of his shame and guilt. When believers lovingly help their enemies, it should bring shame to such people for their hate and animosity (cf. Pr 25:21 , 22 ).
