Presentation transcript:

Luke 13:5 “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” Acts 17:30

Romans 3:23 Sinners need to repent Why Preach on Repentance? 1 John 1:8 Back-sliding Christians need to repent

Repentance = “a change of mind which results in a change of conduct” Turn from evil and turn to the good!

Change of Life 1. Involves Turning From Evil 2. Ceasing of Sin Nineveh “…repented at the preaching of Jonah…” (Matt. 12:41) “…they turned from their evil way…” (Jonah 3:10)

“And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.” Joel 2:13 “Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing,”

2 Corinthians 7:8-10 = Two Words for repent [1] Metamelomai = “after-care” remorse or regret Judas is an example [2] Metanoeo = “after-knowledge” a change of mind that includes:

 Change of opinion in regard to the nature of sin  Change of opinion about sin and God  Change of opinion about the punishment of sin

 He abhors and hates sin in his heart  He desires to stop sin

 Change in your mind about sin  Do not have the desire to repeat sin  Reformation of conduct  Leads to confession and restitution

Sorrow of the world - sorrow for sin Founded on selfishness Not a change of opinion about sin

How can false repentance be known ?  Leaves the feelings unchanged  Works Death  Only partial reformation of conduct  It is temporary  A forced reformation

“Rend your hearts not your garments” Joel 2:13 Repentance is an inside job, not an outside job ! Godly Sorrow Worldly Sorrow

Repentance Change of Mind Godly Sorrow Deep Contrition Produces Change of Life Produces

IS NOT:  Regret  Being filled with sorrow  Walking down the aisle in the church building  Saying “I’m sorry”  Just stopping the doing of wrong  Starting to attend the services

IS :  A way of life  Not just a one time event  Continual - as long as we live

In Christ = SAVED Baptized (Gal.3:27) Confess (Rom.10:10) Hear (Rom.10:17) Faith (Jn.8:24) Repent (Lk.13:3)

Cleansed 1 Jn. 1:9 Forgiven Pray – Acts 8:22 Repent of sins – Acts 8:22 Confess sins – 1 Jn.1:9

One of the hardest commands to obey Repent For The Non-Christian Baptism is easy once he repents For The erring Christian Confession is easy once he repents It is Hard Because: It is the turning point – decision making point It takes humility It involves an admission of wrong

Luke 13:5 “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”

“For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted;” 2 Cor.7:10a NKJV
