Sermon Description
What is the difference between repentance and remorse? In this sermon on repentance, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses the incredible weight of these topics that separate eternal life from death. Repentance is a turning from sin to Christ. It is a genuine regret and full confession of sin. But how does it differ from worldly remorse? Dr. Lloyd-Jones carefully explains that while repentance involves feelings of anguish and guilty remorse, it is repentance that results in a change of mind. Worldly remorse will cry, but not forsake and turn away from sinful activities. The gospel message must call others to submit their life to Christ, not just feel bad about their sin. Only once one has been saved can they come to know the joy of discipleship, forgiveness, and move forward in Christian living. For the gospel message to be believable, the world must see transformed lives, lives redeemed from eternal death.
Sermon Breakdown
The term repentance means to think again or reconsider. It involves changing one's mind and regretting previous wrong views and conduct.
Repentance is brought about by the grace of God through the preaching of the Word. God grants repentance.
Repentance engages the whole person - the mind, emotions, and will. It involves gaining knowledge of sin, feeling sorrow for sin, and turning from sin.
Repentance deals with one's view of God, self, the relationship between God and man, life, death, and eternity. It leads to a changed view of all these things.
The experience of repentance involves:
A changed view of God's holiness, greatness, justice, mercy, and love
A sense of guilt, unworthiness, and pollution due to sin
A realization of one's weakness and helplessness
A hatred of sin and love of holiness
Grief, sorrow, self-loathing, fear, longing for deliverance, confession of sin, and a desire to please God
Crying out to God for mercy
Repentance differs from remorse. Remorse involves sorrow for failure and fear of consequences. Repentance is godly sorrow that leads to a change of life. It gives a sense of offending God, pollution from sin, hatred of sin, longing for holiness, and hunger for righteousness.
I am so grateful for the MLJ Trust and these recordings! I try to listen to 2-3/week and the Homy Spirit is stirred within me.
Learning repentance is part of learning the height, width, depth, and breadth.
Repentance is gifted to the sinner by God alone. Through the phenomenal Holy Spirit.
@phillipaj.5588 this is all a part of having a new mind. Is that clear enough?
@@CanvasTaylor The mind of Christ is given to those who are regenerated, Born Again, Born from above , born of water and the Spirit. The mind of Christ. In Christ.
Conviction of sin is given to the unregenerate sinner by GOD alone. Repentance is gifted to the sinner by God alone.
We die with Christ , we are raised with Christ.
The LOVE of God being shed abroad in our hearts which is what your comment relates to , concerns the baptism of the Holy Spirit , not Repentance.
MLJ has a six part teaching on that doctrine .
Hope this helps .
@phillipaj.5588 not here to argue, what did I say that you don't understand, and what did I say in my initial comment that was wrong? There is depth in a simple comment. Repentance and believing are also part of height, width, depth, breadth. Come on son.
@@CanvasTaylor There is depth in comments, indeed.
Not a correction per se , but my initial response was alluding to your thought that repentance is somehow " learned "
Scripture doesn't support that theory , but it does support repentance being given TO us by The Most High God .
🙂 not a son , but A Daughter of The King .😊
Thank you for sharing this message & the effort put into it. The sound was very good 👍!
How blessed are you when you groan for your sins and long to be delivered from them!! So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. Do you cry out to God because of your bondage to the law of sin and death? Then your cry comes up to God and He acknowledges you and will come down and give you deliverance!! Exodus 2:23-25
You've heard it, Now applying your mind why God forgives...
Repent to God's as His K'dom now near an Behold the Lamb.
Disciples were converted after the Cross and context dawned on them like Spirit's subdued?!
