GOD IS CALLING YOU TO REPENTANCE


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: GOD IS CALLING YOU TO REPENTANCE

I. Introduction: Two types of people need to repent: a) those professing to be Christian but whose lifestyle don't reflect that change, and b) believers who commit the same sin repeatedly.
Scripture: Luke 24:45-49
II. Message

A. Repentance is essential. The following biblical figures stress its importance:

John the Baptist and Jesus (Matt. 3:1-2; Matt. 4:17; Luke 5:32; Luke 24:47)
The apostle Paul (Romans 2:4; Acts 17:30)
Peter (2 Peter 3:9)
B. Repentance is heartfelt sorrow for sin, along with a commitment to walk in obedience.

This is more than sorrow for being caught or misery due to the consequences of disobedience. For example, the Prodigal Son not only comes to his senses; he also leaves the hog pen (Luke 15:11-15).
Salvation is an internal change that results in external action (Matt. 7:16,20). The Great Commission says, "Make disciples of all the nations…teaching them to observe all that I commanded you" (Matt. 28:19-20).

I want to ask you this morning, have you do that, I know you have repent but have you totally leave the sinful habit?
The lord is calling you this morning to leave it totally and he will forgive you in Jesus name. Amen

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME HELP US TO DO YOUR WILL AND WORK IN YOUR WAY
