The Log and The Speck

.The Log and The Speck – Matthew 7:1-5

FYI – At one point during the sermon, I took a long 7ft. dowel rod and held it up to my eye. That’s what’s going on when you hear me interacting with people in the congregation.

Repentance and the Fruit of Sanctification

Tim Melton expounds on the meaning of Galatians 5:6 – “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”

In this sermon, Tim covers a lot of ground, explaining the differences between Justification and Sanctification and how repentance functions in regard to each. Especially focusing on Repentance in Sanctification, we see that genuine faith in Christ should result in a deep expression of the Love of Christ. Fruit that is not loving, is not the fruit of Christ, but rather the fruit of Self-effort which only serves to make us “look better” as Christians. Sanctifying Repentance does not deal with God’s Wrath – that was already addressed in Justification. Instead, Repentance in the life of the believer deals with Our Wrath toward God and Others. The fruit of this Sanctifying Repentance is the reception and bearing out of the glorious love of Christ.
