Repentance

"Sin arises because we desire something more than we desire God. Overcoming sin begins by reversing this process: desiring God more than other things. The Bible calls this repentance."

--David Powlison, "Idols of the Heart and Vanity Fair," in The Journal of Biblical Counseling, Vol. 13, No. 2, 1995, p. 36.
