The Bible Teaches Doctrine (part 7):
Man Loves Through Repentance
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent,
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 3:1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the
wilderness of Judea, 2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.”
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the
apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift
of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 17:29 Being then God’s offspring,
we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art
and imagination of man. 30 The times of ignorance God
overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
Acts 20:18b “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, … 21 testifying both to Jews
and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our
Lord Jesus Christ.
“If there is no mention of the need for repentance, sometimes the gospel message becomes only, “Believe in Jesus Christ and be saved”. But this watered-down
version of the gospel does not ask for a wholehearted commitment to
Christ—commitment to Christ, if genuine, must include a
commitment to turn from sin. Preaching the need for faith
without repentance is preaching only half of the gospel. It will result in many people being
deceived, thinking that they have heard the Christian gospel and
tried it, but nothing has happened.” Wayne

CONFESSING
Psalm 51:1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love;

CONFESSING
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in
your words and blameless in your judgment.

and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
…
CONFESSING
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,

2 Corinthians 7:9 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly
grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

grief produces death.

not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the
temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be

of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
PURSUING
Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good
news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the

baptized?” 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized
him.
