DBS Lesson 4: Repentance From Dead Works [Part B]

Back to DBS! =)
This is Daryll's illustration on repentance.



REPENTANCE is like a door! =)




FAITH is like a living room! =)

True REPENTANCE must always come before true FAITH. You must OPEN the door first before you ENTER into the living room. =]

Luke 15:7 - Heaven rejoices over ONE sinner who REPENTS. Therefore...REPENTANCE is important! Let's zoom in to the details now... =D

THE FRUITS OF REPENTANCE.



NOT THIS... The fruits of repentance are all ABSTRACT NOUNS. =D

Let's move on to the words that start with C.

1) CONVICTION
Three things that lead to conviction are Conscience, God's Word & the Holy Spirit.

2) CONTRITION
Read Psalm 51 - it is a penitential Psalm.
Remember godly sorrow? that is what contrition is about.

3) CONFESSION OF SINS
"Holding on to unconfessed sins in the soul is like keeping bullets in the body."
-Anonymous.

You can CONFESS your sins to GOD, to one another & publicly, depending on the situation.

4) CONVERSION
If you're genuinely converted, these are the practical expressions that will be evident in your lives.

a) Forsaking
b) Restitution: Paying back
c) Reconciliation: Being reunited
d) Demonstration of good works! [Eph 2:10]
e) Serving GOD with all your heart.

5) CONFESSION OF THE LORDSHIP OF CHRIST.

Let's take in slowly what we've learnt yesterday. =D
HAVE A GOOD WEEK AHEAD~
