Introduction
Luke 19:8 – Zaccheus made a radical turn toward God. This is a great story of repentance.I may be misunderstanding repentance.
I may thing it’s just a one-time thing.
Everybody who has sinned needs to repent – and we’ve all sinned!Acts 8:13-22Romans 1:7; 6:3II Corinthians 7:8-9 – They needed to repent again!Revelation 2:5, 16, 22; 3:3, 19God offers grace, but we must repent!I may not realize I need to grow.
Ephesians 4:1-3John 8:11; Luke 22:32 – God told people to grow!We can’t just say, “This is the way I am.”Acts 17:30I Corinthians 6:9-11 – These were hard changes to make!I may not ever really commit.
Acts 26:19-20Acts 2:41, 44 – Why didn’t they all obey?John 3:5-10
