A Change of Mind and Actions an Introduction by Tom Procich
Introduction:
let’s continue looking at what it is to repent...
I. What is it to Repent
REPENTANCE.
The notion of repentance follows from the notion of sin.
It suggests that sin is an act or attitude which can be corrected by some change in the person.
In its biblical sense repentance refers to a deeply seated and thorough turning from self to God.
The Greek word for “repentance” is a compound word derived from meta, meaning “after,” and suggesting “some type of change,” and nous, meaning “mind.”
Thus, metanoia strictly denotes “a change of mind”—a rejection of past sinful ways.
But it also connotes remorse for sin, accompanied by a desire to turn away from one’s sin and to God for salvation.
Such repentance accompanies faith in Christ (Acts 20:21).
Repentance = A Change of Mind
Repentance = Turning Toward God
Repentance = Reconsideration
Repentance
Greek expression: metanoia

Strong’s Number: 3341
David is a wonderful example of repentance...
after taking a census...
David again after being confronted by his sin of adultery with Bathsheba...
The Prodigal son in the New Testament...
The Tax Collector in Luke 18...
Nineveh in the Old Testament...
It was John the baptist ministry to prepare the way for the Christ...
The 3000 souls on the day of Pentecost when the church was establsihed...
[ If man is to repent he needs to stop being close minded and arrogant He needs recognize his error in light of the scriptures…]
II.
Don’t Assume You’re Right with God
Our world is overly influenced by our fleshly desire and the prince of the air...
You see our battle in this world for righteousness is never personal, it is spiritual...
Therefore God Word must be proclaimed to the many opponents of God because the truth will set them and us free from the spiritual forces at work against us...
[ The type of reconsideration that is necessary must be a godly sorrow, one that results from a contradiction of the standard of truth which is God’s Word…]
III.
What Drives Repentance
When we are at odds with our own actions when they do not measure up to God’s standard then we can achieve true repentance...
but when we are contemplative about how to get away with and establish our wicked ways in the opposition of truth we cannot achieve true repentance
this is to say if you are only sorry because you got caught you are not really sorry
Remember repentance is a change of heart, it begins on the inside...
[ When we have a change of heart we have a change of life…]
IV.
Repentance is a Lifestyle
Repentance is not what you say its about what you do...
Paul commended the church in Corinth for their Godly sorrow...
We need to be like the children who do good when the parents aren’t present
that is the proper lifestyle
We can close with David’s prayer to God in Psalm 51...
Conclusion:
Today we’ve seen that repentance is a change of mind and action.
A turning away from self; the world and the Prince of the Air
and turning to God
We understand that we need to examine ourselves in the light of scripture and not the measure of another person.
Do not assume that you are right before God.
Humble yourself before Him.
Repent or Perish the Bible is clear, Jesus make a clear statement for your reconsideration
If we can recognize that our actions are in error with God’s commands and causes us grief then we can bring forth fruits of repentance
Then we can act in an approving way in every situation because we have effected a change in the inner man
The outer man is already judged and has been found wanting; flesh and blood will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven
It’s not to late to change and it’s never to late to come to God
To see and do things His way is always appropriate no matter when you enter the vineyard it’s all the same pay - Heaven as Your Eternal Reward
That’s why we teach these workshops...
