045 Disciplines of Faith Pt. 6

The Discipline of Repentance Pt. 2 What Happens When We Practice this Discipline of Repentance? Repentance, when confessed, will show actual changes in the core of who we are-that His way impacts our deeds, attitudes, and behaviors! This change of turning from sin to God should allow us to feel the sorrow of the hurt we caused, not only to ourselves, but also to the people around us, and even God. What you will hear ·       Repentance, when actualized, will cause us to feel authentic hatred for sin. ·       Our attitude and who we are become new and changed in Christ. ·       The Discipline of Repentance helps us understand our guilt, sinfulness, and helplessness. ·       How we respond to life and other people will be rooted in how we respond to God. ·       Repentance means we do not trust our church or ancestry for salvation. You must profess faith and repentance on your own! ·      The Great Commission centers upon repentance as a precursor to being a disciple! ·       Repentance does not save us; repentance is only the realization of our salvation. ·       Salvation is not logic or knowledge, optimism or wishful thinking. it is the changing of all we are-our goals, aspirations, values, and behaviors-so that we turn a complete 180 degrees from the way we were ·       There is hope in our Lord. He forgives! ·        It is logical and beneficial to be humble in Him! ·       Repentance helps us to "refresh" our memory in Him. ·       If we do not understand what it means to repent, and if we do not practice this discipline, we will then miss the centrality of the gospel message! Real repentance will entail full, genuine confession, restitution, and the will to turn to Christ, not just as Savior, but also as Lord. This is not just a one-time deed, but also a lifestyle that places Christ first and foremost in our daily lives.
