I needed to read these words from Jared Wilson today.
What does the repentance unto faith look like?
Fleeing. Continually from sin. The jail bars are broken open. Don’t just stand there, make a break for it!
Pursuing. Continually the things of God. They won’t happen by accident. People don’t, as Carson says, “drift into holiness.”
Fighting. Not with fists but with the armor of God against
every force of wickedness within and without that would distract or
delay you from Christ-fixation.
Taking hold. Of the only source of power for fleeing,
pursuing, and fighting — the gospel of Jesus Christ that makes the dead
eternally alive. If you would be righteous, godly, faithful, loving,
steadfast, and gentle, you must in faith lay hold of Jesus. Put him on,
and the qualities that are his are yours.
Read the whole thing here.
