How to Recognize True Repentance

I‟d invite you to turn to the gospel of Matthew to start with here this afternoon. The gospel of Matthew. As we‟ve considered the gospel itself through Pastor John‟s messages and what Phil Johnson preached from Philippians 3, we could kind of summarize in one respect by saying that,as ambassadors of Christ, we offer eternal life to sinners if they will come to Christ for salvation. And the question for this message that I hope to answer for you today and to consider in some measure of depth is how do we call sinners to respond to the gospel? What is the response that we are looking to provoke from them? What is it that we are praying that God would work out in their hearts as we proclaim the doctrines of grace to them, as we preach salvation to them? What is it that we, as those who evangelize and those who preach – what is it that we say to them? How is it that they are to respond so that they would partake of the benefits of the work of Christ on the cross?
