Why are we sad when sin? Why are some people not sad at all when they sin and do not seem to be bothered by their own sin? It is because being sorrowful for sin is a gift of God. Only God can give us the gift of repentance from sin. When we truly see our sin and God takes away the veil so we see sin as it really is, we want to be forgiven. God's only provision to forgive us our sins is the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. Therefore, God's gift of sorrow for sin and repentance leads us to the cross of Christ.
Other people never realize they are sinners. Therefore, they never come to the cross to acknowledge what Jesus has done. We are forgiven of sins by His death but we are saved to eternal life by believing in Him!
This is all from God and not of ourselves. I f we have any insight into God it comes from Him alone. Therefore, we have no room to boast.
