June 6, 2025 – Repentance and Faith on Repeat
Colossians 2:6-7
Sermon: 2324 How to Walk in the Spirit
Pray Over This
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.”
Colossians 2:6-7
Ponder This
The way to live the Christian life is the same way you got the Christian life. It’s just repentance and faith, repentance and faith, repentance and faith. You say, “Well, I already repented.” Well, so did I when I got saved, but I’ve done far more repenting and trusting in Christ after I got saved than I did when I got saved. When I got saved, I gave all I knew of me to all I knew of Jesus, but I knew very little about either one.
You never reach a place in your Christian life where you don’t need to repent. Joyce came up to my study the other day, the sunlight was coming in the window, and she looked at the glass-top table and said, “Look at that dust.” I said, “Honey, if it hadn’t been for that sunlight you’d never have seen that dust.” A person who says, “I don’t need any more repentance,” is not walking in the light. The closer you get to the Lord, the more imperfections you see in your own life. Walk with Christ in repentance and faith. If you’ll do that, you will discover the treasures that are in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance is turning from self; faith is turning to Jesus. And the more you turn from yourself and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, the more real He will be to you.
- When was the last time you repented? Is this something you practice regularly? Why or why not?
- What are some of the reasons we neglect to walk in repentance and faith? What needs to change for you to do so?
Practice This
Pray and confess to God how you need to grow in repentance and faith.
