Repentance

• Matt.32, Acts 238 Rom.24

3
Repent

• Matt 32-3
• 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven
  is at hand!"
• 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet
  Isaiah, saying
• "The voice of one crying in the
  wilderness
• 'Prepare the way of the LORD

4
To repent means

• Strong definition of New Testament words
• 3340 - metanoeo (met-an-o-eh'-o)- to think
  differently or to think afterwards, to reconsider
• A combination of 2 Greek words
• meta (met-ah') after (-ward), again,
• plus
• noeo (no-eh'-o) to exercise the mind (observe),
  to comprehend, to heed, to consider, perceive,
  think, and understand.

A scriptural picture of true repentance

• Matt 2128-31
• "But what do you think? A man had two sons, and
  he came to the first and said, 'Son, go, work
  today in my vineyard.'
• 29 He answered and said, 'I will not,' but
  afterward he regretted it and went.
• 30 Then he came to the second and said likewise.
  And he answered and said, 'I go, sir,' but he did
  not go.
• 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?"
• They said to Him, "The first."

6
The first son experienced

• An emotional change of regret (that enabled
  him)
• A change of his will
• (his will said,I will not)
• A change of direction
• (he went)

7
The first son did the will of his father because

• He changed his mind and conformed to the will of
  his father
• So repentance is
• A mental turn around
• To have another mind
• To think differently
• To reverse a decision
• To change an attitude
• To change course or direction

8
Repentance is not just sorrow

• 2 Cor 78-10
• 8 For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I
  do not regret it though I did regret it. For I
  perceive that the same epistle made you sorry,
  though only for a while.
• 9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry,
  but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you
  were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might
  suffer loss from us in nothing.
• 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading
  to salvation, not to be regretted but the sorrow
  of the world produces death.

9
Sorrow leads to Repentance, Repentance leads to
Truth

• 2Tim.224-25
• 24 And the Lord's servant must not quarrel
  instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to
  teach, not resentful.
• 25 Those who oppose him he must gently instruct,
  in the hope that God will grant them repentance
  leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
• 26 and that they will come to their senses and
  escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken
  them captive to do his will.

10
Sorrow is

• Sadness, grief, heaviness
• The work of regret or remorse
• Sadness because of exposure
• To be distressed in ungodly activities
• A necessary prerequisite for repentance (Godly
  sorrow)
• The feeling of being to up from the flo up
• but it is not Repentance

11
