We must start there (according to Paul M). I tend to think you might agree with that. :)danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088260285661911833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-83272695398603161572014-11-24T09:45:15.755-05:002014-11-24T09:45:15.755-05:00What you have written is very important and though...What you have written is very important and thought provoking.<br /><br />I'm sure you know that repentance is very important to my understanding of what it means for a person to be a follower of Jesus. As a result, I have done a lot of thinking about where repentance comes from in a person's heart and mind.<br /><br />The notion that hope precedes it is interesting to me but, in the end, that's not what I see in the Word. In fact, I see repentance coming from a very different emotion.<br /><br />Jesus said, "Come to me all you who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest."<br /><br />Paul said, "For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret..."<br /><br />It seems to me that hope comes after repentance and belief in the gospel.<br /><br />I'd love very much to know how, in the theological paradigm you are receiving, hope works its way into the equation before repentance.<br /><br />I have too much trouble resisting the temptation that a little shepherd-dominated thinking is in play here.bill Sloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102811572106761198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-62338451949847891352014-11-24T09:04:14.694-05:002014-11-24T09:04:14.694-05:00You can have my notes.
