"Nature of Repentance", 12/10/99, Pastor Martin

1.  Source
Repentance is a gift from God, even though it is the sinner that has to repent.  The repentant sinner and the preacher are not to be praised, but God is.  Evangelism is not a con job on sinners, but eh hope of God's imparting His grace. 
Acts 5:30-31, 11:18; 2 Tim. 2:24-26; Ez. 36

2.  Soil
- Spirit-wrought conviction of sin
- Spirit-imparted grasp of Christ
If your mouth has not been shut against excuses and equivocating, you have not known true conviction.  You need nothing more than a crucified Christ to save you, and nothing else will do. 
Rom. 3:19-20; Luke 15:17-19
