05 Repentance and Faith

1. God creates out of nothing. Therefore until a man is nothing, God can

make nothing out of him Martin Luther

2. Luke 15:11 32 (Prodigal Son)

3. Knowing isnt enough. John 3:1 18 (Nicodemus)

4. Hearing and doing. Repentance is to stop sinning. Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement; he is a rebel who must lay down his arms. This process of surrender, this movement full speed astern, is what Christians call repentance. Now repentance is no fun at all. It is something much harder than simply eating humble pie. It means unlearning all the selfconceit and self-will that we have been training ourselves into for thousands of years. It means killing part of yourself, undergoing some kind of death C.S. Lewis
