God's word clearly says in 2 Corinthians 7:10 - For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death.
Question we need to ask ourselves is whether we are having Godly grief or worldly grief. The answer is very few have Godly grief and most of them have worldly grief.
People who are having Godly grief cries to the Lord begging for mercy for His sins of the past and also pleads for mercy for the sins of spouse and children.
Person having Godly grief will also accept that all the loss happened to him in job or business or health or family has come to him not because of others but because of his sin and also for hurting others in words and deeds.
Person having Godly grief will also understand that Jesus had paid price in full for his sins by shedding every drop of blood from His body.
Person having Godly grief will have a true change of heart and hates all the sins he enjoyed in the past. After doing this he receives forgiveness for all the sins of the past by God and also he will be cleansed from all unrighteousness and also he will be restored by God.
On the contrary person having worldly grief will also cry out to God, confesses his sins and also admits wrong doings but instead of repenting he remains self centered and because of this he grieves over all the loss happened to Him in job or business or health or family and complains about all the unfair treatment he received from others and demands justice from God instead of mercy.
Person having worldly grief will be having great pain and regret for his own pain and not the pain of others, because of this he finally falls into self pity and despair.
Godly grief will lead us to salvation and Worldly grief will lead us to death.
