Description

Repentance is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Christianity. Many people confuse it with feeling sorry, avoiding consequences, or trying harder to be good. But Isaiah 55 reveals that true repentance is something far deeper: a complete turning away from sin and an active return to God. This sermon explores what repentance truly means, why it's necessary, and how God's grace makes it possible.

This week we explore:

• The biblical definition of repentance as a 180-degree turn from sin toward God
• Why sorrow for sin and repentance are not the same thing
• How God's accessibility and nearness make repentance possible for everyone
• The profound difference between human and divine forgiveness
• Why repentance is a response to grace, not a work to earn it
• The story of King Manasseh and the reach of God's mercy
• How God's Word transforms barren hearts into fertile ground
• The hope and assurance that God's promises will not fail

 By the end of this message, you will understand what the Bible truly teaches about repentance and how it differs from cultural or emotional substitutes. You will feel confident that no sin is too great for God's forgiveness and that His compassion is great
