Sermon Overview
Reidhead details the Spirit's work of "Conviction"—making sin appear "exceeding sinful." He defines "Repentance" as a total "change of mind" regarding authority, where the sinner signs over their life to Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that without this "Unconditional Surrender," there is no biblical grounds for assurance.
Key Principles
God’s Perspective:Use the Law to see your sin as God sees it—as a "crime" against His holiness.
Act of the Will:Treat repentance as a "decisive choice" to change masters, not just a seasonal emotional feeling.
Breaking Self-Right:Legally resign the "right to yourself" and your own plans at the foot of the Cross.
The U-Turn: Make a complete "about-face" in your life's direction, moving away from "Self" and toward "God."
Assurance vs. Argument: Stop trying to "argue" yourself into safety; wait for the "Peace of God" to settle the matter.
Appetite for Word:Check your "spiritual hunger"; a new nature naturally "loves" the milk and meat of the Bible.
Knowing Him: Move from "knowing about" the attributes of God to "experiencing" Him as a living, present Friend.
Transformed Affection: Evaluate your birth by your "loves"—do you now love what God loves and hate what He hates?
