Repentance talks about a change of heart, a change of direction, a change of thinking. For Christians, this begins with leaving our self dependence behind and allowing God to be in charge of our lives.
Using examples like the story of Les Miserables, Matt illustrates and illuminates the idea of repentance, showing that the wage earned by our sinfulness is death, whereas confession and repentance lead to life in all its fullness.
Our relationships with God and others come alive, but our need for ongoing repentance is a key to activating this.
Matt issues us a challenge. Are you a “sinner”? Do you need to change direction in life?
