More From Joseph Joubert

There are still people who insist that we have to preach on repentance. well, i disagree! i think we should do it god’s way – preach the goodness of god and allow the goodness of god to lead people to repentance. such repentance will be true repentance. it will not be motivated by the fear of judgment and indignation. it will be a genuine repentance that is motivated by his grace, unconditional love and compassion. after all, our ability to love god stems from our first tasting his love for us.
Unconditional Love Thinking Compassion
He’s bound to have done something,” nobby repeated. in this he was echoing the patrician’s view of crime and punishment. if there was a crime, there should be punishment. if the specific criminal should be involved in the punishment process then this was a happy accident, but if not then any criminal would do, and since everyone was undoubtedly guilty of something, the net result was that, in general terms, justice was done.

The saved sinner is prostrate in adoration, lost in wonder and praise. he knows repentance is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness; it is what we do because we have been forgiven. it serves as an expression of gratitude rather than an effort to earn forgiveness. thus the sequence of forgiveness and then repentance, rather than repentance and then forgiveness, is crucial for understanding the gospel of grace.

I truly believe that one of the things that has been lacking in america is a spirit of repentance about the injustices of slavery and the injustices of segregation and racism generally. i truly believe that we cannot come to a place of reconciliation until there is individual repentance and corporate repentance.

Repentance is a realization that what god wants from you and what you want from god are not going to be achieved by doing the same old things, thinking the same old thoughts. repentance is a decision to follow jesus christ and become his pilgrim in the path of peace. repentance is the most practical of all words and the most practical of all acts. it is a feet-on-the-ground-kind-of-word. it puts a person in touch with the reality that god creates.
