From the Grace Church Statement of Faith
Saving faith is accompanied by the grace of repentance, whereby believers, being by the Holy Spirit made sensible to the manifold evils of sin, humble themselves for it with godly sorrow, praying for pardon through Christ and strength of grace by the Spirit to walk before God well-pleasing in all things. The whole of the Christian life consists of repentance, and it is everyone’s duty to repent not only of sin in general but also of particular known sins. Such is the provision which God has made through Christ that although there is no sin so small but it deserves damnation, yet there is no sin so great that it will bring damnation on those who repent.
