Pews and Pedagogy
Compelling Change–Part 2*
This is where the rubber meets the road. Followers of Christ transform by "putting off" sinful behaviors and "putting on" godly virtues, rooted in their new identity in Christ.
Confronting Sin*
Reflecting on sin, I contemplate whether I confront it promptly or overlook its presence. John Owen's admonition, "Be killing sin or it will be killing you," underscores the urgency for Christians to actively repent and align their lives with the gospel. Repentance isn't simply about initial salvation but is ongoing, fostering a life marked by a steadfast commitment to Christ's teachings and the pursuit of holiness.
Repentance in the Life of the Believer*
Jesus emphasizes the unyielding commitment required to follow Him, stating that looking back makes one unfit for His kingdom. This declaration underscores repentance as not merely a one-time event but an ongoing transformation in the believer's life. Genuine repentance yields enduring fruit, evidenced by a life characterized by obedience and fidelity to Christ.
