00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.420 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.860 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks.
00:00:19.680 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:22.420 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.320 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:27.220 we are surprised so often surprised by our sin and what we're saying in essence is this this
00:00:34.440 is worldly remorse right we say i can't believe i did that remorse now resolve is i'll never do it
00:00:40.700 again in my own effort right solar bootstrapia i'm going to pull myself up buy my bootstraps
00:00:46.340 i'm going to grit my teeth the sweat of my brow blood sweat and tears i'm going to make sure that
00:00:49.960 i never do this again now in essence what we're saying is this i can't believe i did this aka
00:00:54.540 hey, this is a fluke. This is a one-off. This is not a fair and accurate representation of who I
00:00:59.980 am. That's what we're saying. And the resolve, I'll never do this again, is to say, and I'll prove
00:01:05.600 by never doing it again. Whereas that's remorse and resolve, to realize and repent. So remorse
00:01:13.880 and resolve marks false repentance. True repentance is realize and repent. To realize and repent is
00:01:18.420 to say, what I've just done is ultimately not the problem. What I've just done is an exact
00:01:28.200 representation of who I am. And I think of what the prophet Nathan said to David. He tells him
00:01:34.940 this parable of a man who had one little lamb and his children, it was like a pet to them. It would
00:01:40.500 eat at their table. They loved this lamb. And he had a neighbor who had tons of livestock.
00:01:46.820 and one one day a traveler a sojourner comes to stay with his neighbor and he wants to exercise
00:01:54.760 his neighbor wants to exercise hospitality but rather than killing one of his own lambs
00:01:58.540 of which he had many he was a rich wealthy man he he snuck in and stole that one little pet lamb
00:02:04.480 from the poor man and he carved it up and served it to the stranger in order to appear hospitable
00:02:13.160 and Nathan he tells this parable to David and he says what should be done with this man
00:02:20.520 David said surely this man should die and Nathan responds by saying not this is what you did
00:02:29.380 you had several wives you were the king wealthy so much and you took Uriah's sweetheart the love
00:02:37.160 of his life, Bathsheba. Rather than Nathan responding by saying, this is what you did.
00:02:42.920 No, he responds and says, you are the man. This is who you are. Response church, you are the man.
00:02:55.380 You are the woman. I am the man. Our problem is not just that we do bad things. Our problem
00:03:02.520 is that we are bad people.
00:03:04.700 Our problem is that we are corrupt
00:03:06.440 in our inmost nature.
00:03:09.400 And to repent, to truly repent,
00:03:12.520 is not remorse.
00:03:13.480 I can't believe I did that
00:03:14.560 and resolve, I'll never do it again.
00:03:16.180 No, it is to realize and repent.
00:03:17.660 It is to say, my problem
00:03:19.460 is not just what I do or say.
00:03:21.700 My problem is that I have a wicked heart.
00:03:23.960 It is who I am.
00:03:25.100 It is intertwined in every fiber
00:03:26.840 of my being in my flesh.
00:03:28.580 And if God does not change me,
00:03:31.340 I will do this again and again and again. And very likely I will do far worse.
00:03:38.060 To repent is to change, not in our own strength, not in our own efforts. It is to realize the full
00:03:45.460 weight of the problem and then to cry out to God and say, I don't just need resolve. I don't just
00:03:51.820 need discipline. I don't just need, you know, extra intentional, you know, thoughts about,
00:03:56.800 I need to be transformed.
00:04:01.100 I must be transformed.
00:04:03.820 You must create in me a clean heart, oh God.
00:04:06.720 You must change me.
00:04:08.480 You must radically transform my identity because woe am I.
00:04:12.780 And sin did my mother conceive me.
00:04:14.920 In iniquity I was brought forth.
00:04:16.680 The problem is not just what I've done.
00:04:18.220 The problem is who I am.
00:04:19.600 I am the man.
00:04:21.020 God, change me.
00:04:23.060 That's what it is to repent.
00:04:24.460 Thanks so much for listening.
00:04:25.420 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:04:28.940 take a moment and leave us a five-star review
00:04:31.320 if you enjoyed the show.
00:04:32.920 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us
00:04:36.180 get this biblically faithful content
00:04:38.160 to as many people as possible.
00:04:40.300 Thanks so much.
