Sermon Overview
Based on Luke 13:3-5, Reidhead warns that "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish". He argues that God’s standard for the Kingdom is high and that "personal workers" often prematurely assure people of salvation before true repentance has occurred. The sermon is a call to a deep, Holy Spirit-wrought remorse for sin that leads to a total abandonment of the "right to oneself".
Key Principles
Universal Requirement:Accept that repentance is not optional; all must turn or face spiritual perishing.
Response to Holiness:Align your repentance with God’s holy standard rather than your own comfort.
Easy-Believism Danger: Reject any "salvation" that does not produce a visible change in nature and desire.
Law for Conviction:Use the Law to expose your heart's depth before reaching for the comfort of the Gospel.
Active Turning: Make a decisive "U-turn" in your life, turning toward God and away from self-interest.
Premature Assurance:Guard against "easy" peace; ensure your assurance comes from the Spirit, not a human.
Spirit’s Authority:Look only to the Holy Spirit to give the final "nod" of peace to your repentant heart.
Surrender Joy:Experience the "freedom of the prisoner" once you finally surrender your life to Christ.
