“Turn me, and I will be turned”
That’s what the Hebrew of Jeremiah 31:18 literally says. Or, put another way, “Repent me, and I will be repented.”
Point being? It is God – not me – who works repentance in my heart.
Well, how does he do that?
A better question to ask first: how exactly does the Bible define repentance?
“Now properly speaking, true repentance is nothing else than to have contrition and sorrow, or terror about sin, and yet at the same time to believe in the gospel and absolution that sin is forgiven and grace is obtained through Christ. Such faith, in turn, comforts the heart and puts it at peace” (The Book of Concord, p. 44).
In this episode of The Manna Podcast, Jacob Lewis and Pastor Sam jump into Article XII of the Augsburg Confession, pertaining to Repentance.
