Repentance Model

  1. 1

    Bethinking: Or remembering all the good things God has done for you and for others (1 Kings 8:46-48; Romans 2:4; Luke 15:16-20).

  2. 2

    Asking: That is, asking for the gift of repentance, that is a heart that feels about things the way God does (Luke 24:45-48; Acts 5:31; Psalm 68:18; John 16:24; Matthew 7:7-8; Ezekiel 36:26).

  3. 3

    Sorrow & Joy: God then gifts us with true sorrow for sin, the sin itself (2 Corinthians 7:10). He then ads to our sorrow a joy for right doing, for righteousness sake (John 16:20-22; Jeremiah 31:13).

  4. 4

    Hatred & Love: God takes it a step further by giving us a hatred, even an abhorrence of sin and evil where ever it presents itself (Romans 12:9; Job 42:6; Luke 14:26; Revelation 2:6). Then He adds to that a love for what He loves. Of course Love - the principle of giving what is needed most, puts us on a solid emotional foundation (John 3:16; Jeremiah 31:3; John 13:1; 1 John 4:19).

  5. 5

    Turning: It is so much easier to make the choice to turn away from sin and toward God in heart and life, when you feel about things the way God does. (Isaiah 55:6-9; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Hosea 4:11; Proverbs 8:13; Ezekiel 18:31).

Jesus clearly spells out how we can enter His kingdom. Simply believe and do the will of the Father.

The problem is our fallen nature naturally rebels against His will. Jesus took on our fallen nature, became one of us, to show us how God’s gift of repentance can recreate our sin sick hearts.

Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:10, 23; John 5:19; John 14:10; Matthew 19:26; Hebrews 2:17; 2 John 1:7 quoted at worksheet 8

The very reason Jesus came to this world, lived, died and rose again, the reason He was glorified and now sits at the right hand of the Father was so He could give us His repentance, victories, and His perfection!

Luke 24:45-48; Acts 5:31; Philippians 4:13

The culture of heaven is different than our earthly culture. To prepare us to live in the pure, holy, and sinless atmosphere of heaven, Jesus wants to give us a new repentant heart so our feelings and actions will be in harmony with His.
