What God Wants
In this sermon What God Wants, You don’t have enough human strength to CONFORM to God’s standards, but through repentance you can be TRANSFORMED into what He wants. It is only because of God’s mercy that you are breathing, moving, thinking, and worshipping right now! He has many mercies! If every one of His temporal/physical/earthly mercies were to suddenly disappear – so that all you had was God’s salvation – He would STILL be merciful! Don’t serve God because of His judgments, serve Him because of His mercies! I’m not scared of Hell, I’m thrilled about Heaven! Once you understand WHY you would consider giving God what He wants. To change your life, YOU MUST CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK. Behind everything you do is a thought. Every behavior is motivated by a belief, and every action is prompted by an attitude. Repentance goes even further – you repent whenever you change the way you think BY ADOPTING HOW GOD THINKS. That, and that alone, is repentance – it involves the will much more than the emotions.
