Volume 1 Lesson 1 A Story of Repentance

II Samuel 12:1-13

Psalm 51:1-6

Romans 2:4

II Corinthians 7:9-10

I John 1:6-9

The Murder of Jesus by John McArthur
This quote is from the section of the book about Repentance:
The third paragraph
"Tears of repentance can in no way atone for


sins. But genuine sorrow is nonetheless an important sign of true


repentance, signifying that a change of mind and heart have truly taken


place. Not all sorrow signifies true repentance, however. Judas was


remorseful over what he had done and tried to return the blood money to


the ruling priests. His guilt over what he had done finally even motivated


him to go out and kill himself. But that kind of sorrow is a worldly


sorrow that only leads to death. It may involve sincere remorse over the


consequences of one's sin—regret over the loss of prestige or friends or

influence. But it reflects no true change of heart, and thus no true grief

over the sin itself. Peter's sorrow was of a different sort. It was the

deepest possible sorrow of heart—mingled with shame over his sinful

behavior, hatred of the sin itself, and a desperate longing to be restored to

a right relationship with Christ"

The Message Bible,


Psalm 51:1-6

1–3 51 Generous in love—God, give grace!
Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad record.
Scrub away my guilt,
soak out my sins in your laundry.
I know how bad I’ve been;
my sins are staring me down.
4–6 You’re the One I’ve violated, and you’ve seen
it all, seen the full extent of my evil.
You have all the facts before you;
whatever you decide about me is fair.
I’ve been out of step with you for a long time,
in the wrong since before I was born.
What you’re after is truth from the inside out.
Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.
7–15 Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean,
scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life.
Tune me in to foot-tapping songs,
set these once-broken bones to dancing.
Don’t look too close for blemishes,
give me a clean bill of health.
God, make a fresh start in me,
shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.
Don’t throw me out with the trash,
or fail to breathe holiness in me.
Bring me back from gray exile,
put a fresh wind in my sails!
Give me a job teaching rebels your ways
so the lost can find their way home.
Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God,
and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways.
Unbutton my lips, dear God;
I’ll let loose with your praise.
16–17 Going through the motions doesn’t please you,
a flawless performance is nothing to you.
I learned God-worship
when my pride was shattered.
Heart-shattered lives ready for love
don’t for a moment escape God’s notice.
18–19 Make Zion the place you delight in,
repair Jerusalem’s broken-down walls.
Then you’ll get real worship from us,
acts of worship small and large,
Including all the bulls
they can heave onto your altar!
