88. In how many things does true repentance or conversion consist?
- In two things: the dying of the old man, and the quickening of the new.
89. What is the dying of the old man?
- Heartfelt sorrow for sin; causing us to hate and turn from it always more and more.
90. What is the quickening of the new man?
- Heartfelt joy in God; causing us to take delight in living according to the will of God in all good works.
91. But what are good works?
- Those only which are done from true faith, according to the Law of God, for His glory; and not such as rest on our own opinion, or the commandments of men.
