Metanoia - Based on Luke 13: 1-9 25:03:2019, 17.31

The title of this Podcast is ‘Metanoia’ (repentance), based on Luke 13: 1-9 (a necessary change for Salvation) but what in the world is Metanoia? Metanoia is a transliteration of Ancient Greek word which means a “change in one's way of life resulting from penitence or spiritual conversion”. Some of you here today may have experienced Metanoia at one point or the other. I use this word instead of simple repentance for two reasons, 1. To engrave the word in your hearts because the act of repentance is key to the sustenance of our Christian faith, the word Metanoia is much more than just sorrow or grief or simply a change of mind it is the outcome of sincere regret of what had taken place occasioning from our experience of awe-inspiring spiritual conversion. 2. Because the word “repentance” is grossly misrepresented. Each time the word is used most people understand it as condemnation or simply a religious mind control tools to keep people of faith in check. Metanoia comes with responsibility which is the action on our part to remain steadfast in our confession of faith in Jesus Christ. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
