- A proper and Biblical understanding of repentance is essential when it comes to salvation. We don't want to make repentance less sharp than the Bible does, but we should equally not want to make repentance more severe than the Bible does. What does the Bible teach us about the nature of repentance?

Repentence is a doctrine most of the world is blind to. You can't actually do it unless the Holy Spirit empowers you to. It takes massive insight to realize how how the song isn't kidding about 'saved a wretch like me'
Yes repenting is saying I'm a sinner please God forgive me. When I got cancer I turned to God and told him how sorry I was for hurting so many people and being selfish and forgetting him and asked him to forgive me and he saving me from all the lies in this world and from myself. He put the fear of God in me. All glory to God and his mercy and love!
Angela Mergist How are doing, with everything (cancer gone yet)?. I wish you complete recovery if it’s the Lord‘s will, claim it and accept it, now in Jesus’ name. Amen
Repentance is the total inner cleansing of our human consciousness from old attitudes, old beliefs and old prejudices.
Sometimes you just dont know that you're not thinking, and it is only revealed to you by the grace and mercy of God.
Praise God for this sermon! Let us all repent and run to Christ! Think again and run to the Saviour!
I came from looking for “There’s a Platypus controlling me” from Phineas and Ferb but this is beautiful :)
XD. LOL. But praise God for that.
Hi, Pastor Conway Praise the Lord I watched your second video in a study in repentance who struggle with assurance and you made it even clearer to me. I'm sorry with my first incomplete comment below. I also do not mean to cause confusion to fellow christians who truly repented. I believe all your quoting of the scriptures and interpretation of repentance. Let me just make myself clear to you too. I'm a christian too for so many years. I was baptized Roman Catholic at 9 and baptized as baptist at 12 and worshipped as Lutheran Christian for 42 years. I agree that true repentance is like as you say a change of mind, life, and having a new heart to completely turn around and away from sin 180 degree and the true transformation and regeneration is caused by the holy spirit by sanctification by Jesus Christ as being born again of the spirit. We show these to our fellow christian believers by a change of life by living, acting, speaking, and behaving like Christ. Jesus Christ deserve all the credits. We humans do not deserve anything but wrath and punishment. Repentance is a continuing process. We need to repent and ask the lord for forgiveness of our sins everyday because we sin everyday at least by thoughts, word, and action. Assurance of our salvation is by redemption of blood of Jesus Christ in the cross. As Martin Luther said we are justified by faith alone, grace alone, and scripture alone. I hope these clarify my comments somehow thank you.
I always knew I was wrong. I just didn't know how to stop.. I keep hating myself. I can't stand my past self. I pray I grow stronger. Juses is my everything. I'm sorry I did what I did.
2 Corinthians 3:14-17 “But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
Repentance involves a heart shift. When we sin it’s not just missing the mark. The Holy Spirit is grieved. It’s a decision based on a godly sorrow. It’s a matter of the whole heart. It is wrapped in grief and pain and the spirits conviction within the heart and mind. It involves utter honesty and confession to God, and walking out an amends which is evident to those around us. As in the Psalm 51. One may weep bitterly but his heart is far from God. It means to throw ourselves on the Mercy seat of Christ and surrendering ourselves to His total Lordship in our lives which reflects true humility and willingness to be corrected. We do a 180
Is part of the heart shift admitting we love sin? Confession of even the worst things?
Thank you Pastor Conway you spoke and woke me up to the real spiritual truth . I repent and rethink. Thank you for making it clearer to me. Forgive me Lord Jesus I truly repent of all of my sins and help me I pray. Amen.
Thank you for this. I've always had a very difficult time with this. I want to be good, because I love God, but I fall short all the time. I have wavered (even years after knowing I'm saved by grace) in my faith over the issue of sin. I know we reap what we sew, but I also know God has already forgiven me and that Jesus paid the price for my salvation.
This is so incredibly powerful! Lord I have had the deep anguishing grief and sorrow over my sin. Please give me power to rethink again into the changing of my mind! In Jesus name. Amen
Well, this is an eye-opener for sure 😧😧😧
One of the best allegories for repentance is Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol". Scrooge's exposure to his own behavior led him to the realization of his imminent destruction, a Godly fear and regret, a complete change of heart, and decision to change directions.
What a great sermon! Everything he says is so incredibly true! Thank you, Tim! God Bless!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Fresh manna for me✝️
So glad to hear this. It really brings some depth to the word and it's meaning!! Thank you for this message. God bless you!
i needed this sermon today. Thank you God for leading it to me.
May truly God bless you Pastor Tim Conway and your church!we are so blessed for your teachings❤️oh truly blessed be the name of the Lord almighty!❤️greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️
Amen! Spot on! Excellent message!
Thank you so much. I never thought about thinking or rethink again..thank you..it really helps.
He seems to preach to one person to his left front. I see that in his sermons. I digress....great message.
This sermon has really touched me. I have not ever felt the feeling of being filled with the Holy Spirit. I have repented as I thought it is supposed to be but now see I was wrong. I have asked for forgiveness for my sins and am going to turn away from this world. I have had it wrong my whole life. I am the lowest of vile creatures and want to be saved. I want to be baptized by fire.
I can really relate with you. Praying
The Gospel is not about feeling.
@@joshuatheo1419 wow! True
@@joshuatheo1419 It says that they were pricked at the heart from Peter's sermon. Pricked in the greek meaning deeper than a surface wound like a sword in Christs side or by the nails in Christs hands. The word that is Jesus Christ is sharper than a two edged sword because it pierces deeper than the surface into the very spirit and soul of a man. They surely felt something brother whether that be mental anguish or pangs in there spiritual heart as the spirit was working already to change them.
Thank you Pastors Tim and James for all your diligent labors for this ministry. This sermon was excellent!
BTW:We wondered what happened to your livestream yesterday (10/28 ). (I have been very ill so we have been at home).
We have been praying for your church and hope everything is okay.
Repent is changing of the mind
Thank you for this truth there are so many liars out here😭 God bless your soul and all the others you work with. Your channel is rightly named🌱🕊😊
Please let us know if we could help your ministry in any way. Im sure many of us would be willing as long as we keep hearing the truth we cant hear from barely anywhere else
Sir I salute you. I thank you for those wonderful messages that you have shared with us believers. Truly i have gained much knowledge about our Lord Jesus Christ because of your teachings. Keep spreading the gospel. Godbless. Love love from Philippines ❤️

I have been wrong! Please pray for me! Help me to rethink about who God is. I believe that I’m owed something. I deserve heaven but I know that’s wrong! Help me get to a point of desperation for Jesus! Pray for me please I’m begging!
Psalms 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doeth good.
Romans 3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:12
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
I will pray for you, but you should seek God through his scriptures and prayer as well. God bless you!
Psalms 35:13
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth:
I humbled my soul with fasting;
and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
James 4:6
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
@@chrisleromans5845 thank you brother, grace be to you. Yesterday was the day. I watched the the Satans Attacks against Christian assurance video by pastor Tim. Everything he said I have experienced since I came to Christ a few months ago. And I felt my spirit fully comprehended that Jesus is the only way to life. Our obedience doesn’t save us (though it’s necessary). Repentance (as Paul washer says) is simply realizing your sin, and giving up trying to save myself. I fully realized yesterday, if Jesus can’t save me. Nothing can. And I had assurance yesterday for the first time in my life. I felt a peace for the first time in my life that I didn’t know was possible. Jesus saved me. The journey is long. Endurance is necessary. The one who endures to the end will be saved. Today I was reading 1 John. I got to 2:20 “But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.” And as I read that verse, I looked outside of my window, and saw a bright red cardinal looking at me. Cardinals have always been a sign to my family about God being present in our lives. I’ve had a cardinal show up a few other times during my walk with Jesus during important situations. Jesus is Lord and I’m so thankful for His atoning work on the cross. I know the journey is hard and long. But it’s worth it to be with Jesus in the end. God bless you, and praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
@@CowpokeCannoneer i'd urge you to not look for signs or go on feelings. but use the Bible. what does the Bible say as far as assurance? is it seeing cardinals, or is it something else? Also, you realize that Jesus is the Savior, but do you believe in Him? what is the Gospel?
Jesus is the way, the truth and life!! Believe in Jesus Christ and pick up your own cross and follow Jesus!
Eastwood,
I hope your wrong. I think this man is spirit filled. I really hope to see him in heaven.
Because God who do the work in you to have the will and to do
Amen! Only Christ cam save! Think again!
I thought this message was amazing but as soon as my Catholic husband ( who goes to church with me who preach the message of grace ) heard you say one thing about the Catholic church, he totally rejected the rest of the sermon. I am sure it is pride, not wanting to give up his former set ideas, but I don't know how to handle it. All I can do is pray that he will eventually have the scales removed from his eyes.
I appeal to you to have your husband research his Augustine heritage with an open mind. I would not want to be in his awkward position of defending a theology founded single handedly by a man with prolonged indoctrination in three intensely pagan deterministic systems, who departed from centuries of orthodox teachings on free choice by appealing to "salvific" infant water baptism viewed from Stoic micromanaging determinism(that eternally damns newborns),who admitted he had departed from Christianity's centuries old free choice defense against pagans, rested his case on numerous Latin mistranslations (without knowing the Greek language), then followed Plotinus's defense appealing to the inscrutable counsel of the One (don.pers. 1/27,7;grat.et.lib.arb 41, 45, an.et or4.16 to explain the incomprehensible unreasonableness of his novel pagan-Christian syncrestic theology- Stoic/Neoplatonic/Manichean/Christian. In addition current Calvinistic interpretations of "deterministic" scripture passages are pagan interpretations brought into Christianity through Augustine. I invite him to you to consider the pre-Augustinian and Augustine's earlier, more firmly founded and universal perspective of a salvific free choice response, graciously offered by Christianity's sovereign God of grace. By the way this preacher here is a neo Calvinist he is not dividing the word of God properly. Two sites for the both of you Truthfellowshive.com start in the first sermon in Galatians and www.fathalone.com. I was a follower of Rome for 42 years so never cease praying for your husband.
Hi, what may help is pointing out Galatians or Romans, It’s not totally the same but you can switch the Jews for Catholic, as Catholics seem to feel they can ‘earn’ their way. The ‘Name above all Names’ from Philippians 2:9-11 will be proof that Jesus is above Mary, who gets way too much importance in Catholicism.
16:31
So you change your mind and then believe in God that saves sinners? What about sins? While you are seeking Him to be born again what do you have to do when you sin? I'm seeking God and I know i'm a sinner tho I don't feel anything but i feel terrible when I sin because I don't even try to stop, I just do it naturally (i know because of my sinful nature) can't stop sinning.
I only wish I could get my brother on Jesus’s traini!
John owen. The mortification of sin is qhat I'm working on right now.
If all faith comes from God, and repentance is a part of faith, then we need but ask right?
Repentance is a work
So is love
It's a command
So many people and pastors automatically equate repentance with sin they will say repentance of sin. So now I believe sin is bad if I were to repent of sin I would change my mind to now think sin is good. The Bible says repent for the remision of sins so if I used the thinking that repent means to stop signing and I was able to do that I would have no sins left that need remision
What have I done
Amen!!
Can repent and reconsider be considered synonyms ?
I don't think they are completely synonymous. Repentance is coming to the realization that the garbage you've been dumping on your property is poisoning the ground water you drink from your well. Your entire attitude toward the handling of that garbage changes.
To reconsider means to reexamine, that is what is done BEFORE repenting. You reconsider your position to see if it's correct, then make a CHANGE in thinking.
So, I recognize that I need to "come to my senses". How do I get there ?
Consider this... it sounds as if you are looking to "come to my senses" as some qualification you must meet in order to be qualified to be saved. Many people will think, "I need more grief!" And they try to get more grief as if more grief will make them savable... that is nothing other than a subtle works-based salvation. You come to your senses by coming to your senses and realizing you don't need to come to your senses more... you need to come to CHRIST... who will give you true sense and understanding. Jesus does not call you to prepare yourself more... but to come just as you are and to trust in Him... not to trust in yourself.
Short answer: you can't! You might as well ask a blind man to give himself sight. Jesus is exalted to give repentance as well as remission--you need to seek Him immediately and not wait to make yourself worthy enough to do so (understand then that God gives salvation purely sovereignly, and the best, deepest most sorrowful repentance in the holiest man is in itself incapable of making God one iota more inclined to give it! If you expect to bring repentance to God in exchange for His grace, then as the Canticles, say, it would be utterly despised).
@@illbehonest WOW, when I first read this, it didn't really register. Upon rereading it a month later, it makes more sense. Thank you 😊!
@@illbehonest while i'm seeking Him and I come to Christ as I am, what do I have to do when I sin?
@@miabern8346 confess your sin to Him and He is faithful and just to forgive you. Realise that when you are saved, God gives you the Holy Spirit to help you in your walk. By His power you are to put to death the sin in your life because of the grace He has given you. God will sanctify you.
How can I tell if I'm doing something that is my works or if its god doing something (gods works)
What would be an example of the work you are speaking of? For example: if I find there is purity in my life that was not there before--what is the cause of that? Is it something I've achieved in my own power and effort? Or have my eyes been on Christ and a biproduct of that is that I am finding power in Christ?
How do I repent without it being a work
Exactlyyyyy
Believe and trust God
Let every mouth be stopped amongst this cheap grace anti-lordship of Christ movement, upon this sermon and the truth of scripture be proclaimed.
false lordship teacher, long speech, people already know repentance is change of mind to come into agreement with God
I've rethought what he said and I don't think this is correct.
So you need to match it up to the word of God, then rethink what he said. The Bible is are final authority
@@saved6655 ok sorry let me restate that. In light of looking to the Scriptures again, I rethought what he said and still don’t agree with him
@@brianbrindisdesalas7338 ok now scripturally where was he wrong?
@@brianbrindisdesalas7338 you can’t say I don’t agree then not have scripture to back it up
Brian, that check in your spirit is correct. "Repentance" without actually "turning from sin" is not Biblical repentance that God accepts.
I've been delving into the Scripture for many years now, and aside from the Greek (which I have some understanding of), the Scripture itself defines Repentance as beginning with a change of mind and must cause a change of behavior, else we have not repented.
Scriptural Repentance in its greatest sense means a Change of Behavior. ua-cam.com/video/t2B-srwgv6s/v-deo.html
Watch Steven Anderson - Old man vs New Man on youtube to learn what the truth is about faith and works.
@Reach Honduras yes he does, that's called railing and a straw man.
@Reach Honduras I've listened to pastor Anderson hundreds of times and have heard him preach repentance many many times. What he preaches against is the idea that you can be saved by works. That's all it comes down to, and Tim Conman is a great example of a false prophet who will stand before God guilty of all because he is mixing grace and works.
You don’t need to have repentance to have salvation just like Paul when he was converted when Jesus spoke to him
Wolf
If we could merely “turn from sin”, then we wouldn’t need a Savior.
Grief and godly sorrows for wrongdoing is a gift from God just as Grace and faith are.
Telling people that repentance means “turn from sin” produces false converts. Sadly, millions of believers on Jesus are going to hell based on the false teachings of repentance means to turn, it most certainly does NOT.
Exactly! If only he answered exactly what the sheep and coin did when it comes to repentance in Luke 15.
Trying so hard to "turn from sin" and it's impossible, can't stop sinning. Feel really hopeless when God is calling me to do something I can't as a dead man. There's nothing I can do, I am powerless and a wretched man in need of The Savior.
@@miabern8346 "come to Me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest"
I think some of you need to listen to the message again with your ears wide open. He never said repentance was the action of turning from sin. He said repentance was a change of mind to the point where you ask what have I done in my life. And then the Turning from sin is a result of repentance.
Don Simonds it’s neither “turning from sin” nor “changing your mind”.
Both of those are works, repentance is a gift from God.
Repentance is to change. Yes, you’re mine, but turn to God. Many people think repentance is always attributed to stopping sinning. If that was the case, then why did God repent? Can you read the Bible God repented 39 times. He was going to do something he repented, and did something else.
So it’s not always necessarily to stop sinning Jesus never told people to repent from your sins. You don’t find that at all in the Bible.
It states that we have to repent and go towards God
What does "Go towards God mean"?
