Repentance by Dr. Curtis Hutson<br />

"Penance is not <strong>repentance</strong>. Penance<br />

is the effort in some way to atone for<br />

wrong done. This man can never do,<br />

nor does God, in His Word, lay it<br />

down as a condition for salvation that<br />

one first seek to make up to either<br />

God or his fellows for evil<br />

committed.... On the contrary, the<br />

call was to repent, but between<br />

<strong>repentance</strong> and doing penance there<br />

is a vast difference."<br />

Penance is a sacrament of the Roman<br />

Catholic Church involving the confession of<br />

sin and submission to penalties imposed,<br />

followed by absolution by the priest.<br />
