Must a person forsake his sins before he can come to Christ?

Summary

The sermon explores the danger of treating repentance as a prerequisite for belief, thereby turning it into a work rather than a fruit of grace. It references the Marrow Controversy and John Bunyan's *Pilgrim's Progress*, suggesting that an overemphasis on a perfect repentance before faith jeopardizes the concept of God's grace. The takeaway is that faith, not a specific quality of repentance, is the entry point to salvation, and true repentance flows from faith.
