as 2 Corinthians 7:10 says, “Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.” You can avoid worldly sorrow by trusting that “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 8:1) and “if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Cor. 5:17). You are not defined by your old self; just commit to truly making it your “old” self.
