Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Are you committed to change?

The Bible tells us that God is committed to changing us, and he will send the sometimes

painful grace of confession to help us.

In today's episode, we're going to listen to a sermon from the archives,

as Paul teaches from Psalm 51.

In it, we'll see that when we see our sin before us, like King David does in this passage,

we are on the road to true heart change.

I want to ask you to do two things. The first I want to ask of you a moment of personal reflection.

And here's my question.

Are you committed to change?

No, I don't mean changing your finances or your job.

Or you'd like a more durable lawn, or change in your diet. Are you committed to personal change? You see, we would say this about the gospel. The gospel teaches us that the power

of sin has been broken by the work of the Lord

Jesus Christ, but the presence of sin still remains and is being progressively eradicated.

So if you want to wonder what God's agenda for you is right here, right now, you can say it in a word, change.

He is actively continuing his work of transformation in you.

So your agenda for yourself should be change.

Now that means this.
