When studying today's lesson, all I saw in the spirit was GS + R = S.  Salvation should be all of our goals.  However, to get there you must acknowledge that you are sorry for your sinful ways and repentant.  None of us are perfect. Many of us are, works of clay, still in progress. However, we all are children of the most High God who loves us and wants our salvation. "Who do you choose this day?"  We must have our Joshua moment and cry out to God, "as for me and my house, we will serve The Lord."  

Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more. For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what  clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.  2 Corinthians 7:6-12 - NKJV
