Summary
It is one thing to plead for God to forgive, and it is another thing to ask God to transform. We must do both in repentance, and we must do so with a growing aversion and hatred for sin. Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God .

Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:33.940
It is another thing to plead for God to transform.
00:00:43.680
He asks to be restored, that is, to be changed.
00:00:47.700
He doesn't just ask that God might clean his record.
00:00:51.380
He does ask these things, to blot out my iniquities.
00:00:54.560
But he does not merely ask for God to clean his record.
00:01:02.140
He's asking to be changed by God, to be transformed.
00:01:07.480
David recognizes that if God does not change him
00:01:24.500
David is desperate to be changed and I think that this is very telling when it comes to gauging
00:01:32.140
whether or not our repentance is true or whether or not our repentance is false there are people
00:01:39.180
who hate God that if they acknowledge that God is real that God exists that God is holy and that God
00:01:48.140
is judge and they would plead to be forgiven but only the christian only the lover of god who has
00:01:58.320
first been loved by god would plead to be transformed because in pleading for god to
00:02:04.360
change us what we're saying is not just god i want to be pardoned for my sin to want to be
00:02:10.120
pardoned is to say i do not wish to experience the consequences and judgments for my sin but but
00:02:17.400
you cannot want judgment for sin but still love sin itself but when we ask god to change us not
00:02:26.300
just forgive us but change us what we're saying is that i want to be done away with my sin and the
00:02:33.240
the only way that we could truly desire to be changed and and done away with sin is if there
00:02:40.240
is in us a growing aversion and hatred for sin thanks so much for listening but real quick
