Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 36:31

"Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations." — Ezekiel 36:31 (ASV)

Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

Repentance is not the root of grace, but the lily-like flower of it.

It is not a thing for the early morning of Christian life alone.

Repentance will go side by side with faith all through the ways of righteousness, until we get to Heaven Gate. It is when we have most of mercy that we have most loathing for sin.

"Law and terrors only harden
All the while they work alone;
But a sense of blood-bought pardon
Soon dissolves a heart of stone."
