What is the distinction between worldly and godly sorrow?

John Snyder explains in this video that not all repentance is the same. The Bible explains that there is a distinction between godly and worldly sorrow. Specifically, 2 Corinthians 7:10 states that, "[G]odly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death."

Worldly sorrow focuses on self instead of on God. To an individual who demonstrates worldly sorrow, sin is not a thing that will bring dishonor to God or rob God of His glory. In contrast, as God's Word indicates, godly sorrow produces true, biblical repentance. 

Isaiah 1:16 (NKJV) – “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil.” 

Not all repentance is the same. There is a repentance that we'll later need to be repented of. The Bible distinguishes between a godly and a worldly sorrow that lies at the heart of an acceptable and an unacceptable repentance. But let's think of worldly sorrow. Worldly sorrow focuses on me, not on God.

And therefore, with me at the center, sin is warped in my vision. Sin is not a thing that will bring dishonor to God. Sin is not a thing that robs God of His glory in my life. If I'm the center of my thoughts, then sin becomes a ticket that will take me on a train to some unpleasant place that I don't want to be. I am the center of my focus in a worldly sorrow.
