Paul had written a harsh letter to the Corinthians. And although in the end, they repented and made things right, Paul worried at first that he had been too harsh. But he came to see that the Holy Spirit used his letter to introduce them to something he called, "godly sorrow." Paul takes the conception of sorrow and splits it into two categories: godly and worldly sorrow respectively. Paul explains why only godly sorrow pleases God and produces a changed life. In a world where many Christians seem to think that God never wants them to feel bad, it is important that we rediscover the truth of godly sorrow. In this episode, we will explain the difference between the two types of sorrow and why the sorrow worked in us by the Holy Spirit as a response to the Word of God is superior to the natural guilt worked in us by our carnal heart.
