God Commands Repentance Acts 17:30-31 “All men everywhere…” Rom 3:23 “for all have sinned…” Rom 4:15 “…where there is no law, neither is there transgression.” Therefore, all are under law!

REPENTANCE metanoia – “a change of mind for the better, heartily to AMEND with abhorrence of one’s past sins.” (Thayer, 405) “This change of mind involves BOTH a turning from sin and a turning to God.” (W.E. Vine, Vol. 3, pg. 281) “John did not call on people to be sorry, but to change their mental attitudes AND CONDUCT.” (A.T. Robertson, Word Pictures, Vol. 1, pg. 24) 1 1

Examples of Repentance Thessalonians turned from idols. 1 Thess. 1:9 Ephesians burned their books. Acts 19:19 Jailor “washed their stripes.” Acts 16:33 Corinthians turned from former practices. 1 Cor. 6:9-11 These all brought forth fruit worthy of repentance! Cf. Lk. 3:8; Acts 26:19-20 1 1

Demands of Repentance FRUIT MUST BE BORNE Lk. 3:8; Acts 26:20 Worthy – “weighing, having weight;” corresponding to Congruous, corresponding to a thing Conforming action of life with attitude of heart 1 1

Demands of Repentance SOME THINGS “MUST” BE DONE – Lk. 3:11-14 Reformation of conduct Regret (sorrow) causes change – Mt. 21:28-32; Lk. 15:18; 1 Cor. 6:9-11 Rebuked for not learning this – Mt. 21:31-32 1 1

Demands of Repentance COSTLY – Lk. 14:25-33 Giving up sin – Eph. 4:17-24 The cost can be very great – Acts 19:19 1 1

Demands of Repentance EMOTIONAL – Ezra 9-10 Painful for the teacher of truth, 9:1-3 ; 10:6 (cf. 2 Cor. 7:12) Painful for those involved in sin – 9:4; 10:1-4, 9-12, 19 Painful for those effected by the sinner & his repentance – 10:44 1 1

Does Not Remove Temporal Consequences Convicted murderer does not escape death penalty. Acts 25:11 Convicted thief does not escape “due reward.” Lk. 23:40-43 Convicted prodigal does not regain wasted money. Lk. 15:13 Convicted adulterer not free to continue adultery. Mt. 19:9

What Produces Repentance? Bible preaching. Cf. Jonah 3:1-2 “Preach the preaching that I bid thee.” cf. Lk. 11:32 The goodness of God. Rom. 2:4 The Judgment to come. Acts 17:30-31 Godly sorrow. 2 Cor. 7:10; cf. Mt. 26:69-27:5; note: 2 Sam. 12:9, 14; Ps. 51:1-4 1 1

Attitude Seen In The Fruits of Repentance- “For behold…” 2 Corinthians 7:11 Earnest care – Haste (with care) to correct sin Clearing – Diligent change answered critics Indignation – Displeasure over previous sin Fear – Dread of not pleasing God Longing – Earnest desire to do & be right 1 1

Attitude Seen In The Fruits of Repentance- “For behold…” 2 Corinthians 7:11 Zeal – Fervent spirit, not apathetic neglect Avenging – Sin no longer tolerated Approved yourselves to be pure – Pure in the matter 1 1

Efforts to Avoid Repentance Deny the existence of sin. Deny personal guilt. 1 Sam. 15:13,15 Transfer responsibility for sin. Ezek. 18:20 Cover up sin. 2 Sam. 11 Harm those who expose sin. Mt. 14; Mk. 6; cf. Gal. 4:16 1 1
