REPENTANCE: 180 DEGREES TURN (2)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. What Is Repentance?
a) The Greek word translated “repentance” in the New Testament means “to change one’s way of life as the result of a complete change of thought and attitude with regard to sin and righteousness.”
b) True repentance leads to regret, godly sorrow, and turning from sin. Counterfeit leads to self-pity and worldly sorrow.
c) For better understanding, it is about making 180 degrees turn from your old sinful ways.
2. What does the Bible say?
Luke 15:4-7
“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep. In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!
Luke 5:32
I have not come to call righteous people, but sinners, to repentance.”
3. Repentance In The Bible
Luke 13:3
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Ezekiel 18:21-23
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.
The End ...
