The Acts of True Repentance
Series Series on Jeremiah
When the word “repentance” comes to mind, how do you define it? You will say to me (if you are faithful to the Bible), repentance is a change of mind; it is a turning from sin unto God with full endeavor to render a new obedience to Him. And if you are correct in your definition you will also say that repentance is a saving grace. It is a gift given to each one who believes. It is a part of God's effectual call; even as we have been granted faith, we exercise faith. Even as we have been granted repentance, we should be endeavoring to exercise repentance. I would like you to listen carefully as I explain for you the 4 spiritual actions of our text; the actions which we must take, in order to forsake sins and to make progress in holiness. 1st – We must break up our fallow ground. 2nd – We must not sow among thorns. 3rd – We must circumcise our hearts. And 4th – We must wash our hearts from wickedness.
