Messy Spirituality | Part 3

Hebrews 4:12-16

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

1. Our response to sin should lead us toward God not away from

Him.

2. Godly sorrow leads us towards God, so he can change our heart

and therefore our behavior in light of our sin.

3. In worldly sorrow you try to justify your sin whereas godly

sorrow causes you to own your sin which leads to

repentance.

4. When we have given our sin to God we don't have to carry it

with us any longer.

5. Jesus made a way for us to connect with God because he has

been tempted as we are.
