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 .

00:00:00 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17 Thanks.
00:00:19 Jesus said,
00:00:20 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30 It is one thing to plead for God to forgive.
00:00:33 It is another thing to plead for God to transform.
00:00:38 We must do both in repentance.
00:00:41 David doesn't just ask for forgiveness.
00:00:43 He asks to be restored, that is, to be changed.
00:00:47 He doesn't just ask that God might clean his record.
00:00:51 He does ask these things, to blot out my iniquities.
00:00:54 But he does not merely ask for God to clean his record.
00:00:58 he asked for God to clean his heart.
00:01:02 He's asking to be changed by God, to be transformed.
00:01:07 David recognizes that if God does not change him
00:01:10 at his very core from the inside out,
00:01:14 that the sin that he has already committed,
00:01:16 even if it were to be forgiven,
00:01:18 it is sin that he would one day commit again.
00:01:21 And very likely he would commit far more evil.
00:01:24 David is desperate to be changed and I think that this is very telling when it comes to gauging
00:01:32 whether or not our repentance is true or whether or not our repentance is false there are people
00:01:39 who hate God that if they acknowledge that God is real that God exists that God is holy and that God
00:01:48 is judge and they would plead to be forgiven but only the christian only the lover of god who has
00:01:58 first been loved by god would plead to be transformed because in pleading for god to
00:02:04 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 pardoned is to say i do not wish to experience the consequences and judgments for my sin but but
00:02:17 you cannot want judgment for sin but still love sin itself but when we ask god to change us not
00:02:26 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 the only way that we could truly desire to be changed and and done away with sin is if there
00:02:40 is in us a growing aversion and hatred for sin thanks so much for listening but real quick
00:02:47 before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the
00:02:53 show. This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
00:02:58 to as many people as possible. Thanks so much.
