What is godly sorrow?

Answered in 1 source

Godly sorrow is a deep remorse for sin that leads to true repentance and salvation (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Godly sorrow differs from worldly sorrow in that it produces lasting change in the heart of a believer. In 2 Corinthians 7:10, it is described as leading to repentance that results in salvation. This sorrow stems from recognizing the gravity of one's sin and understanding its offense against a holy God. It is characterized by a desire to turn away from sin and is marked by a longing for reconciliation with God. Godly sorrow is essential because it cultivates a heart that truly desires to honor God and pursue holiness.
