Christians Want to Repent
It is true that Christians sin. They sin all the time and every day. Every day they prove that they need a Savior. This is the result of the fallen human flesh that desires things contrary to God’s will. Yet, another desire also resides with the Christian: a love for God. This love for God is a result of seeing his glory (2 Cor 4:4-6) and results in the desire to obey God (1 John 5:1-3). The desire to obey God, though not always followed – leading to sin, leads the true Christian to repent over sin because that is what he wants to do. The Christian wants to be like his Savior, therefore he repents of his sin. To listen to this sermon, please click on the following link: James 4:9, part 3.
