Subject: The Effort of Repentance |
Bible Note: Man will not truly repent unless they are convicted of sin by the Holy Spirit, John 16:8. Many downplay the Holy Spirit, citing instead the intellect of man, sufficiency of preaching, conditional yielding to the Holy Spirit. Many heed the words of man, cling to the words of man but fail to seek the leading of the Holy Spirit. We can try to blame man's state on many characteristics of man but it means little when proper importance is not placed on the Holy Spirit. Opinion most people don't repent because they do not see a need to repent. To be told by a sinning man they are sinful, slothful, or whatever alienates rather than convicts. However when convicted by the Holy Spirit they are certain of their need to repent. Throughout scripture we are shown over and over that prayer, not spicy sayings of man, not excellent preaching, not confrontational situations. But if we can't or won't yield to the Holy Spirit how effective can our prayer be? |
