Summary
Hosts
Repentance consists of contrition and faith. Contrition is sorrow for sin, the terrors of conscience that are attendant the realization of the nature of sin and God’s wrath toward it; faith, in this case, is the entirety of the Christian life — the ‘and then what’, which follows regeneration. But more than this, to be truly repentant is to turn from one’s sins and move toward God. In the Greek (μετανοια), repentance is a ‘change of one’s mind’, or, in the verbal form, ‘to change one’s mind’ — literally, ‘to think differently [about]’.
When we are regenerated, we think differently about the sins of our past (and about the sins we still desire to commit) — we recognize that they are sins and that they are contrary to the will of God. And not only do we think differently about these matters (i.e., have that μετανοια, that change of mind), but we also seek to undo the harms that we have done — there are works that follow true repentance.
In a very real sense, repentance is the core of the Christian life. We are saved, of course, by the work of Christ and the free gift of faith, but a living faith will always produce good works, and chief among those works are repentance and what flows from it. We read the Word of God, which convicts us of our sins, we feel sorrow for these sins (i.e., contrition) and we turn from them (i.e., repentance). This is the Christian life in this world.

| 0:00.0 | The The Welcome to the Stone Choir podcast. I am Corey J. Mahler. And I'm still, whoa. On today's Stone |
| 0:45.9 | Choir, we're going to be discussing the subject of repentance. This is obviously a crucial part of the Christian |
| 0:53.1 | life. It's found throughout the Bible. And the way |
| 0:57.8 | the word is used today among Christians is a pretty radical departure from what's actually in the |
| 1:04.2 | Bible. So today we're going to be doing a word study and an examination of the doctrine of repentance |
| 1:10.7 | and what actually means what actually looks like. Because by an examination of the doctrine of repentance, and what actually means what actually |
| 1:12.5 | looks like, because by the end of this episode, you will all be repenting of what you thought |
| 1:18.5 | about repenting, and we'll explain what that means throughout the hour or so here today. |
| 1:23.8 | Before we get into the details, the meat of the subject, just a bit of housekeeping for the show. |
| 1:29.2 | First, if you're a regular listener, we apologize that we were not on schedule last week. |
| 1:34.4 | Corey had a bit of a nasty cold that messed up his voice and probably would not have been pleasant for him to talk for two hours straight. |
| 1:41.9 | But as we're talking about, we realize that so many people go back and listen to the archives, you know, months and years, hopefully at some point in the |
| 1:49.0 | future, after these things were recorded. We've worked really hard to try to make them all sound the same, |
| 1:53.8 | so we decided we didn't want an episode where something just sounded really weird. So we just took a |
| 1:58.1 | bye week. So this episode is the one we had planned to do last week. |
| 2:02.8 | The second bit of show news, this coming Saturday, I am going to be appearing on the Forrest Moretti show. |
| 2:11.3 | It's a guy on Twitter who's been a friend of us, quarry myself for a while. He invited me on a brand |
| 2:16.4 | new show that he's doing. I'm going to be his |
| 2:18.2 | guinea pig first guest as he works out some of the kinks. So Saturday evening at 9 p.m. on X |
| 2:24.8 | will be doing a live stream. And then subsequent to that, it will be on a podcast hosting that he's |
| 2:31.0 | doing. He invited me on in part just to talk about stuff that Corey and are never going to talk about here. There's a lot of stuff that's off-brand for us. You know, Corey and I are both experts on a number of things that have nothing to do with Stonequire subjects. So we're just never going to waste your time with it because that's not what you're here for. So if you're interested in hearing me talk for a few hours about other stuff that's not the Bible, you can check that out. |
| 2:53.6 | After the recording, we will come back to this episode, show notes, and update them so that that link will be here. |
