True Repentance

In one of my class, I was taught the difference between true repentance vs. false repentance. It intrigued me about the difference between the two.

True Repentance
Vertical
God/Others Centered
Spiritual
Perseverance
Hopeful/Regretful
Willingness to Go to any length
Active
Humility
Responsibility
Unworthy


False Repentance
Horizontal
Self focused
Emotional
Temporary
Hopeless
Demanding
Passive
Prideful
Angry
Blames
Justifies
Minimizes


2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.
