In this sermon titled "Repentance and Faith," Greg Elmquist discusses the theological significance of repentance and faith as presented in Acts 20:21. He argues that these two concepts are intrinsically linked, representing a transformative work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. Elmquist emphasizes that true repentance involves a change of mind about God, oneself, and Christ, leading to genuine faith in the finished work of Jesus. He supports his argument by referencing Paul’s ministry and the unity of the gospel message across cultural and generational divides, highlighting that it is relevant for all people regardless of their backgrounds. The sermon underscores the importance of relying wholly on Christ for salvation, as the unchanging nature of God's character ensures the stability of the gospel across time and culture.
“Repentance and faith always go together. They are two sides of the same coin. They are, as I said in the first hour, breathing. They are exhaling and inhaling.”
“Christ is all. He’s all in creation. He’s all in providence. He’s all in election, salvation, revelation, and redemption.”
“The message, I like what Henry Mahan told… if you can find anything else to do, do it. And I could understand that, but the message, Christ and Him crucified. And it is the answer to everything.”
“I held back nothing, Paul said, but I testified both to the Jews and to the Greeks. Repentance toward God, faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing's changed.”
