329. Have I Repented Enough?
Thursday, 19 November, 2026
In the final part of our series on repentance and forgiveness, Dr. J. Mark Beach turns to some pastoral questions. What becomes of the believer who cannot name every sin he has committed? How should elders deal with a member who refuses to repent? And how do we examine our hearts without sliding into scrupulosity on one side or carelessness on the other? Dr. Beach argues that justification must stand before sanctification in preaching and pastoral counseling, and that to reverse the order is to cast the sinner back upon themselves instead of upon Christ. He also explains why Calvin is a better guide here than many of the Puritan and Pietist writers. Read Dr. Beach's full article, "Forgiving Like God? Some Reflections on the Idea of Conditional Forgiveness," in the Mid-America Journal of Theology: https://www.midamerica.edu/uploads/files/pdf/journal/06_beach_journal2015.pdf
