REPENTANCE
INTRODUCTION (LUKE 15:11-32)
Luke 15:11-32
11
Jesus continued: “There was a man who had
two sons.
12
The younger one said to his father,
‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he
divided his property between them.
Luke 15:11-32
13
“Not long after that, the younger son got
together all he had, set off for a distant country
and there squandered his wealth in wild living.
Luke 15:11-32
14
After he had spent everything, there was a
severe famine in that whole country, and he
began to be in need.
15
So he went and hired
himself out to a citizen of that country, who
sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
Luke 15:11-32
16
He longed to fill his stomach with the pods
that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him
anything.
17
“When he came to his senses, he
said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have
food to spare, and here I am starving to death!
Luke 15:11-32
18
I will set out and go back to my
father and say to him: Father, I have
sinned against heaven and against you.
Luke 15:11-32
19
I am no longer worthy to be called your son;
make me like one of your hired men.’
20
So he
got up and went to his father. “But while he
was still a long way off, his father saw him and
was filled with compassion for him; …
Luke 15:11-32
he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and
kissed him.
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.’
Luke 15:11-32
22
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring
the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his
finger and sandals on his feet.
23
Bring the fattened
calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.
Luke 15:11-32
24
For this son of mine was dead and
is alive again; he was lost and is
found.' So they began to celebrate.
Luke 15:11-32
25
“Meanwhile, the older son was in the field.
When he came near the house, he heard
music and dancing.
26
So he called one of the
servants and asked him what was going on.
Luke 15:11-32
27
‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your
father has killed the fattened calf because he
has him back safe and sound.’
28
“The older
brother became angry and refused to go in.
So his father went out and pleaded with him.
Luke 15:11-32
29
But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these
years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed
your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young
goat so I could celebrate with
my friends.
Luke 15:11-32
30
But when this son of yours who has
squandered your property with prostitutes
comes home, you kill the fattened calf for
him!’
Luke 15:11-32
31
“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with
me, and everything I have is yours.
32
But we had
to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of
yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost
and is found.’”
A. DEFINITION OF REPENTANCE
1.
In Luke 15:17, it says that the young man
“
CAME
to his
SENSES
”.
2.
He came to a
REALIZATION
of his present
situation and made a
DECISION
to go back.
3.
Repentance is
TURNING AWAY
from sin,
disobedience or rebellion and
TURNING BACK
to God.
4.
It is
CHANGING
of one’s mind
(in Greek “metanoia”).
5. It is not just a change of mind but a radical
TRANSFORMATION
of outlook, a total turn-
about.
A. DEFINITION OF REPENTANCE
6. It must include
WILLINGNESS
and the act of
WALKING
in the new direction taken.
1.
Repentance is not just emotions, worldly sorrow
or feeling
SORRY
for what happened.
2.
Repentance is not just being sorry for the penalty
received as a
PUNISHMENT
for sins because he
has been caught. (Judas had his remorse but
decided to hang himself - Matthew 27:3-5)
B. MISTAKEN CONCEPT OF REPENTANCE
3.
Repentance is not doing penance or
PENITENCE
which are acts of attempting
to make up for sins through good works (v. 19).
4.
Repentance is not just a message of mourning
but one of
JOY
(vv. 22-23).
B. MISTAKEN CONCEPT OF REPENTANCE
1.
All are
GUILTY
before God. (Romans 3:23)
2.
God requires repentance from us
(Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30)
C. THE NECESSITY OF REPENTANCE
1.
The
HOLY SPIRIT
convicts us of our sins.
(John 16:7-8)
2.
The
WORD OF GOD
convicts us regarding our
thoughts and attitudes. (Hebrews 4:12;
Acts 2:38)
D. THE SOURCES OF REPENTANCE
3. Love of God - the testimony of the
LOVE
of God
leads many to come to Him knowing His will is
that all may be saved through Christ’s work.
(Romans 2:4)
D. THE SOURCES OF REPENTANCE
1.
FRUITFULNESS
. Once we turn to God and serve
Him, our lives will bear “fruits” as a testimony of
the change that has taken place. (Matthew 3:8;
Luke 3:11-14)
2.
FORGIVENESS
. If we genuinely call on Him, He
will not only listen but bring cleansing through the
Blood of the Lamb. (Isaiah 55:7)
3. Filled with the
HOLY SPIRIT.
(Acts 2:38)
E. THE RESULTS SOURCES OF REPENTANCE
In our genuine act of repentance, there is
restoration of our identity and relationship with the
Lord. Repentance is very important to God.
It causes rejoicing. It causes rejoicing. Like the father
of the lost son, God celebrates because His child
who was dead is alive again. He who was lost is
found. (Luke 15:32)
CONCLUSION
II.FAITH
INTRODUCTION (GENESIS 22:1-14 )
LESSON 2:THE CONDITION OF SALVATION
I.
REPENTANCE
INTRODUCTION (LUKE 15:11-32)
Genesis 22:1-14
1
Some time later God tested
Abraham.
He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
Genesis 22:1-14
2
Then God said, “Take your son, your only
son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the
region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a
burnt offering on one of the mountains
I will tell you about.”
Genesis 22:1-14
3
Early the next morning Abraham got up and
saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his
servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut
enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out
for the place God had told him about.
Genesis 22:1-14
4
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw
the place in the distance.
5
He said to his
servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and
the boy go over there. We will worship and then
we will come back to you.”
6
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering
and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself
carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them
went on together,
7
Isaac spoke up and said to his
father Abraham, “Father?”
Genesis 22:1-14
“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said,
“but where is the lamb for the burnt
offering?”
Genesis 22:1-14
8
Abraham answered, “God himself will provide
the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.”
And the two of them went on together.
Genesis 22:1-14
9
When they reached the place God had told him
about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged
the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid
him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Genesis 22:1-14
10
Then he reached out his hand and took the knife
to slay his son.
11
But the angel of the
Lord
called
out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
Genesis 22:1-14
13
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he
saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over
and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt
offering instead of his son.
Genesis 22:1-14
Genesis 22:1-14
14
So Abraham called that place The
Lord
Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On
the mountain of the
Lord
it will be
provided.”
A. DEFINITION OF FAITH
1.
Faith is the
ATTITUDE
whereby man abandons all
reliance on his own efforts to obtain salvation.
- It is the attitude of
COMPLETE
trust in Christ
for all that salvation means.
2.
Faith is
TRUSTING
and
OBEYING
God.
1.
Faith is
TRUSTING
and
OBEYING
God.
- Faith is not a blind
LEAP
into the dark.
It is not “Bahala Na” system or “Let whatever
happens” attitude. It is trusting in God who will
accomplish His will and promises.
B. MISCONCEPTION OF FAITH
2.
Faith is not a
SUPPOSITION
“siguro!”, “Sana!”.
It is believing in God’s promises and its certainty.
B. MISCONCEPTION OF FAITH
Genesis 22:5
5
He said to his servants, “Stay here with the
donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will
worship and then we will come back to you.”
2.
Faith is not a
SUPPOSITION
“siguro!”, “Sana!”.
It is believing in God’s promises and its certainty.
3.
Faith is not an
OPINION
or hypothesis.
It is not a matter of analyzing God’s thoughts but a
matter of obedience to God based on what He has
promised to us through His Word.
B. MISCONCEPTION OF FAITH
1.
Faith
LEADS
us to God. Trusting in Him will lead to
salvation and a personal relationship with Him.
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
2.
Faith is needed to
PLEASE
God.
(Hebrews 11:6)
3.
Faith is needed in
OBEYING
God. We cannot obey
unless we believe beforehand.
C. NECESSITY OF FAITH
1.
JESUS CHRIST
. We believe because of what He has
done for us. His love makes Him trustworthy (Hebrews
12:2).
2.
THE WORD
. Faith comes from hearing the message
and the message is heard through the Word. It
contains all His promises and His will for us (Romans
10:17).
D. SOURCES OF FAITH
Faith is being sure of what we hope for and
certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). It is by
grace through faith that we have been saved and not
by our works.
Our faith is needed to please God because it is
trusting and believing in the certainty of God’s works
and promises. Our faith in God is also from God.
