Maybe your marriage almost ended. Your addiction was exposed. You lost something important. You cried, apologized, and promised you\u2019d change. But nothing really changed. That\u2019s because being broken isn\u2019t the same as being repentant. Peter and Judas both betrayed Jesus. Both experienced deep sorrow. But their sorrow moved them in opposite directions. Judas moved away from Jesus. Peter eventually returned to Him. Second Corinthians 7:10 explains why: \u201cGodly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.\u201d Worldly grief hates the consequences of sin. Godly grief hates the sin itself. One asks for relief. The other turns back to God. In this Brief, Vince Miller explains why pain alone cannot transform us, what biblical repentance actually looks like, and how James 4:6\u201310 calls us to submit, resist, draw near, cleanse, and humble ourselves before God. Don\u2019t waste your breaking. Let it drive you toward Christ\u2014not away from Him.
