Repent — Part 2

November 8, 2021

Have you ever wondered where a desire to seek the Lord and a longing to abide in His Word comes from? Do you long to experience these desires? Listen as Gabe and Nate explain how the command of Christ to repent answers these crucial questions.
In the command repent, we see our desperate need for the Word of God to dwell preeminently in our minds and hearts. Why? Scripture tells us that God’s Word is living, powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, and has the ability to change and renew our minds and hearts (Heb. 4:12). When the Word of God does its work in our minds and hearts and minds, it gives us the desire to walk closer with Jesus every day.
In summary, the more we saturate our minds and hearts with God’s Word, the more God increases our desire to seek after Him. As Gabe says on this episode, “True change happens with God first changing our mind, and changing our heart. Then He changes our whole life as a result of that.”
