The Mercy of Repentance

Series: Jonah: God's Sovereign Mercy
Text: Jonah 3
Theme: The Mercy of Repentance

One: Wicked…

• A description of their actions
• The condition of their hearts

…but receptive

• Faith = a turning to God
• Repentance = a turning from sin
• Marks of true repentance:
  • A sorrow over sin
  • An appeal for mercy
  • A rejection of sin

Two: Undeserving but forgiven

• Sinners deserve judgment.
• Christ suffered God's judgment so sinners can be forgiven.

Salvation belongs to the Lord! ~ Jonah 2:9
