Repentance is not meritorious.

With respect to Israel, Abraham is to be considered in a double capacity—both as the father of all true believers and as the father and root of the Israelite nation; and God entered into covenant with him for both these seeds. Yet, since these seeds are formally distinguished from one another, their Covenant-Interest must necessarily be diverse and fall under distinct consideration. Nehemiah Coxe, (A Discourse of the Covenants, p.30)

The Lord's Day gathering is profoundly beneficial even when the sermon is not intellectually stimulating or emotionally moving. Why? Because the efficacy of the Word depends on the Spirit's work. Hard Stop.

Listening to a sermon is not the same as participating in the assembled life of Christ's church.

Preach one Christ, by Christ, to the praise of Christ. William Perkins (The Art of Prophesying, p.46)

You cannot love God if you are under the continual secret suspicion that he is really your enemy… In the gospel, you can come to know that God truly loves you through Christ. When you have this assurance, you can even love your enemies, because you know that you are reconciled to God. ― Walter Marshall (GMoS, p.29)

He who would be a faithful minister of the gospel must deny the pride of his heart, be emptied of ambition, and set himself wholly to seek the glory of God in his calling. William Perkins, (A Commentary on Galatians)

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blessed assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
