And the the point here is that there are things that we should repent of. Now I
wouldn't tell you you need to repent of any specific sin to be saved. I'm not the
Lord. But Jesus told people that. Jesus told people of their specific sins that
they needed to repent of to be saved. So let me just end on this point. I believe
that there is something for a lost person that they need to repent of to be
saved. Now it could just be their unbelief. It could just be that they are
completely wrong in what they believe. They're more than happy to receive the
truth and receive the Lord and they've just been giving. You know think
Cornelius. Amen. There's a good example. Cornelius is a guy whose prayers and
alms came up for memorial before God. And God sent Peter to preach to him and him
and his whole house gladly received the gospel and they got saved.
So there's a guy that just needed to change what he believed. But I also
believe that you know the the lady at the well she had to repent of her
lifestyle. The rich young ruler had to repent of his riches and he didn't do it
by the way. He went away sadly. He wasn't willing to. And so I've heard this term
and I like this term. I believe it's right to be able to say there's like a
kingpin sin or somebody's called it a Pharaoh sin. Like it's just that big
major sin that you've got to repent of. You've got to get out of your life.
Whatever it is. Now I don't know what it is but I've met people that have some
what I would call grievous sin and they know all the facts and they told me
straight to my face I'm not saved. You know and and I believe them. If you
believe you tell me you're not saved out of the abundance of the heart of the
mouth speaketh I'm going to believe you. But these are people and I've not asked
them and I've not followed them around but I would suspect that there's
something in their life that they're not willing to repent of. They're the rich
young ruler who's wanting to do it his way wanting to come to the Lord his way
and not wanting to do it God's way. Well let me assure you nobody gets saved on
their terms. You're going to get saved on God's terms. Amen. You're not going to do
it against your will. You're going to have to come but you've got to do it on
God's terms.
