On the Wisdom and Urgency of Repentance

Soren Kierkegaard, Purity of Heart

“One dare not say of repentance and remorse that it has its time; that there is a time to be carefree and a time to be prostrated in repentance.

Such talk would be: to the anxious urgency of repentance—unpardonably slow; to the grieving of God—sacrilege; to what should be done this very day, in this moment of danger—senseless delay. For there is a danger that is called a delusion.”

It is a serious wonderful thing to yield to the impulse to repent. Is a dangerous and terrible thing to delay. Run to Jesus for mercy.
