1. CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT REPENTANCE.
The word repentance means to change your mind, to change the way you think. Jesus wants us to change our mind about our relationship with God.
A person doesn’t have the ability to change their heart. Only God can change the human heart, but he gave us the ability to change our mind and if we will change our mind, He will change our heart!
2. CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT YOURSELF.
The reason many of us do not like to be corrected is because it makes us feel bad about ourselves. Repentance is being honest with yourself.
3. CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT JESUS.
Jesus didn’t call the sinners to change the way they were living. He called them to change their minds about what they thought about God. And when they changed their mind about God God changed their heart.
