Message Notes:
Identity - Repent
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” (Matthew 4:17)
“Today’s church has the misconception that we can add Christ to our lives, but not subtract sin. It’s a change in belief without a change in behavior; it longs for revival without repentance.”
– Patrick Morley
3,5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. (Luke 13:3,5)
The Greek Word for “Repent”
“to change any or all of the elements composing one’s life: attitude, thoughts, and behaviors concerning the demands of God for right living.”
“With repentance comes a change of mind that brings a change of direction. “ – NIV Study Bible
The Big Idea
Following Jesus's direction to change how I think and act through repentance will lead to a deeper understanding of the life I have been called to live.
- Repentance begins with emotion.
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” (Acts 2:36)
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:37-38)
10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. (2 Corinthians 7:10)
- Repentance leads to action.
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. (Acts 2:40-41)
Action Steps:
- Spend time in prayer, asking God to reveal one area where you need to repent.
- Create a practical plan to change it.
- Enlist a trusted friend for accountability.
