4. The word repentance was
used 101 times, in the
scripture and is seldom
used or understood in
our day.
As a culture, we are
obsessed with being
positive. Pain and sorrow
are to be avoided and
happiness is the goal.
9. 2 CORINTHIANS
7:9-10
9 yet now I am happy, not because
you were made sorry, but because
your sorrow led you to
repentance. For you became
sorrowful as God intended and so
were not harmed in any way by
us. 10 Godly sorrow brings
repentance that leads to salvation
and leaves no regret, but worldly
sorrow brings death
11. HOW DO YOU VIEW
YOUR SIN?
•Through your own inconvenience
and annoyance or;
•Through a changed mind…
viewing it as something that
breaks the heart of God.
12. ROMANS 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern of
this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind.”
14. EZEKIEL 14:6
6 "Therefore say to the people of
Israel, 'This is what the
Sovereign Lord says: Repent!
Turn from your idols and renounce
all your detestable practices!’”
20. REVELATION 2:4-5
NASB
4 ‘But I have this against
you, that you have left your
first love. 5‘Therefore
remember from where you
have fallen, and repent and
do the deeds you did at
first…
23. LUKE 15:17-24
17 But when he came to [a]his
senses, he said, ‘How many of my
father’s hired men have more than
enough bread, but I am dying here
with hunger! 18 I will get up and go
to my father, and will say to him,
“Father, I have sinned against
heaven, and [b]in your sight; 19 I
am no longer worthy to be called
your son; make me as one of your
hired men.”’
24. 20 So he got up and came to [c]his
father. But while he was still a long
way off, his father saw him and
felt compassion for him, and ran
and [d]embraced him and kissed
him. 21 And the son said to him,
‘Father, I have sinned against
heaven and in your sight; I am no
longer worthy to be called your
son.’
LUKE 15:17-24
25. 22 But the father said to his
slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best
robe and put it on him, and put a
ring on his hand and sandals on
his feet; 23 and bring the fattened
calf, kill it, and let us eat and
celebrate; 24 for this son of mine
was dead and has come to life
again; he was lost and has been
found.’ And they began to
celebrate.
LUKE 15:17-24
26. ROMANS 2:4
NASB
4 ‘Or do you think lightly of
the riches of His kindness
and tolerance and patience,
not knowing that the
kindness of God leads you
to repentance?
