  3. One Man’s Story…

  4. Gospel Movements are Fueled by Repentance…

  5. What is repentance? Repentance = a change of mind accompanied by regret and change of conduct “To know oneself, is above all, to know what one lacks. It is to measure oneself against the Truth, and not the other way around.” -Flannery O’Connor

  6. What is repentance? Luke 24:45-4945 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

  7. What is repentance? John 16:7-87But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment The age of the Spirit = The age of repentance

  8. What are the counterfeits? Penance centers on what people do. • “What we see is that God never promised to transform us into super-Christians who would never again need to repent. He never promised anybody strength apart from continued dependence upon Himself.” -C. John Miller in Repentance • John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

  9. What are the counterfeits? Penance just tries to treat symptoms. • Legalists’ shallow solutions make them shallow people. • Legalists must deal with the sin behind the sin…UNBELIEF!!! • Legalists must meet the true and living God.

  10. What are the counterfeits? • Isaiah 6:1-81 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Penance just tries to treat symptoms. • Legalists’ shallow solutions make them shallow people. • Legalists must deal with the sin behind the sin…UNBELIEF!!! • Legalists must meet the true and living God.

  11. What are the counterfeits? Penance leaves people powerless and imprisoned.

  17. What are the counterfeits? Penance leaves people powerless and imprisoned. • The great calls of Scripture are not calls to stop wanting or stop thirsting…or play dead… • John 7:37-38 37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

  18. What are the counterfeits? Penance leaves people powerless and imprisoned. • The way of salvation is not to make yourself heavy with your sins… • Matthew 11:28-3028 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

  19. What are the counterfeits? Penance leaves people powerless and imprisoned. • The way of salvation is not to make yourself heavy with your sins… • Matthew 11:28-3028 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” • Repentance will only be genuine and lasting when sinners see that the mercy of God is fully available to them through Christ.

  20. Repentance produces joyous enthusiasm for the things of God… GRACE MINISTRY

  21. Repentance is supernatural ! ! ! • There is nothing natural about it… • It is very supernatural to see repentance as a good thing…a gift… • Repentance releases us to supernatural living… 2 Corinthians 5:14  For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
