Repentance
REPENTANCE
is that act whereby one
recognizes and turns from his sin,
confessing it to God. It's
subsequent correlative is FAITH
in Christ. The two together repentance and faith - constitute a
genuine conversion. Negatively,
the incentive for turning from sin
is recognition of its offense
against God. Whereas, positively,
the incentive for turning to Christ
is a realization of His work in
atoning for our sins.

WHAT
REPENTANCE
IS NOT!
REPENTANCE
Class 2
Repentance
It is not Remorse. Many a sinner
is not ready to repent,
because he is not ready to
give up his sins. Heaven is
full of repentant one time
sinners; however hell is full of
remorseful ones.
Repentance is godly sorrow for
the grievance against and the
anguish caused God by our
rebellious disobedience.
Matthew 13:42-50 NIV

Repentance
42They will throw them into
the fiery furnace, where
there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
43Then the righteous will
shine like the sun in the
kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears, let him
hear.
The Parables of the Hidden
Treasure and the Pearl
Class 2
Repentance
44"The kingdom of heaven is like
treasure hidden in a field. When a
man found it, he hid it again, and
then in his joy went and sold all he
had and bought that field.
45"Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like a merchant looking for fine
pearls. 46When he found one of
great value, he went away and sold
everything he had and bought it.
The Parable of the Net
Class 2
Repentance
47"Once again, the kingdom of heaven
is like a net that was let down into
the lake and caught all kinds of fish.
48When it was full, the fishermen pulled
it up on the shore. Then they sat
down and collected the good fish in
baskets, but threw the bad away.
49This is how it will be at the end of the
age. The angels will come and
separate the wicked from the
righteous
50and throw them into the fiery furnace,
where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
Revelation 6:15-17
Class 2
Repentance
15Then the kings of the earth, the
princes, the generals, the rich,
the mighty, and every slave
and every free man hid in
caves and among the rocks of
the mountains.
16They called to the mountains
and the rocks, "Fall on us and
hide us from the face of him
who sits on the throne and
from the wrath of the Lamb!
17For the great day of their wrath
has come, and who can
stand?"

Class 2
Repentance
It is not making New Year's
resolution, or turning over
a new leaf. No one truly
repents unless and until
he sees something of the
heinousness of his sin in
God's sight.
Isaiah 6:5 NIV
Class 2
Repentance
5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am
ruined! For I am a man of
unclean lips, and I live
among a people of
unclean lips, and my eyes
have seen the King, the
LORD Almighty."
Psalms 51 NIV
Class 2
Repentance
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet
Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with
Bathsheba.
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts [a] ;
you teach [b] me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
Psalms 51 NIV continued
Class 2
Repentance
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.
14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 The sacrifices of God are [c] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
18 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;
build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then there will be righteous sacrifices,
whole burnt offerings to delight you;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
Psalms 34:13-22 NIV
Class 2
Repentance
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The LORD redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in
him.
Psalm 32:3-5 NIV
Class 2
Repentance
3 When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
Selah
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD "—
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
Selah
REPENTANCE
Class 2
Repentance
It is not the same as doing
penitence.
Penitence is tinged with the
idea of gaining merit
before God. Nothing can
be added to Christ's work
as far as atoning for our
sins is concerned.
Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
Class 2
Repentance
8For it is by grace you have
been saved, through
faith—and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of
God—
9not by works, so that no one
can boast.
Titus 3:5 NIV
Class 2

5he saved us, not because of
righteous things we had
done, but because of his
mercy. He saved us
through the washing of
rebirth and renewal by the
Holy Spirit,

WHAT
REPENTANCE
IS!
Class 2
Repentance
The word repentance literally
means "a change of mind".
This indicates that repentance
is a "mental attitude toward
sin". The repentant sinner
faces his sin and God at the
same time and he makes no
attempt to conceal or excuse
it. He openly declares it
before God.
Psalm 38:18 NIV
Class 2
Repentance
18 I confess my iniquity;
I am troubled by my sin.
Legal Repentance - is the fear of
damnation. It makes us fear the
wrath of God.
Class 2
Repentance
Evangelical Repentance - is the
fear of sinning. It makes us
fear the cause of that wrath,
which is sin.
To advance from the fear of
God's wrath to the fear of
causing that wrath is to
make progress in
repentance.
Even the demons tremble in
fear of God's wrath;
however it does not lead
them to repentance.

THE THREE
SIDES OF
REPENTANCE
Class 2
Repentance
Class 2
Repentance
There must be a recognition
of our condition and of
what sin is.
(Sin by the way is ANY act,
disposition of state that is
contrary to God or His will.)
One must realize he
PERSONALLY has sinned.

Psalms 51:4
Against you, you only, have I
sinned and done what is
evil in your sight, so that
you are proved right
when you speak and
justified when you judge.
Luke 15:21
"The son said to him,
'Father, I have sinned
against heaven and
against you. I am no
longer worthy to be
called your son.'
Class 2
Repentance
The true sense of one’s
sinfulness ALWAYS
produced godly
sorrow. One’s
emotional reaction
may vary due to his
temperament.
There is no set number
of tears that must
flow before one is
truly repentant.

Psalms 38:18B
I am troubled by my sin.
Psalms 51:8
Let me hear joy and

bones you have
crushed rejoice.

17 Then Ananias went to the
house and entered it.
Placing his hands on
Saul, he said, "Brother
Saul, the Lord—Jesus,
who appeared to you on
the road as you were
coming here—has sent
me so that you may see
again and be filled with
the Holy Spirit.“
18 Immediately, something
like scales fell from
Saul's eyes, and he
could see again. He got
up and was baptized,
19 and after taking some
food, he regained his
strength.
Class 2
Repentance
This has to do with the
will, for it is the base
of the triangle of
repentance, on
which the remainder
rest. If we have gone
no further than the
intellectual and
emotional stages of
repentance, we have
not gone for enough.
In order to be
forgiven our sings,
we must forsake
them.
Class 2
Repentance
Isaiah 55:7
Let the wicked forsake
his way and the evil
man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the
LORD, and he will
have mercy on him,
and to our God, for
he will freely pardon.
Proverbs 28:13
He who conceals his
sins does not
prosper, but whoever
confesses and
renounces them
finds mercy.

times the amount."
