Скачать или смотреть There Is More Joy in Heaven Over One Sinner Who Repents (Luke 15:7)

Jesus said, “There is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:7). Because we are one of many people who have been saved, we could wonder if our salvation is meaningful to God. But there is joy in heaven, not just over hundreds or thousands of people’s salvation, but over one sinner who repents.

00:00 There Is Joy in Heaven over One Sinner Who Repents

10:49 Lesson One: The Lord rejoices over one sinner’s salvation.

32:25 Lesson Two: The Lord seeks and the sinner repents.

36:51 Lesson Three: We need a new nature versus more effort.

Directions: Read the verses and then answer the questions:

Day 1: Luke 15:5-6, 9-10, Matthew 25:21, 23, Isaiah 62:5, Zephaniah 3:17—If the parable of the lost coin is not primarily a physical story about a woman looking for a lost coin, what is it primarily about? What does it represent when the woman finds her lost coin and rejoices?

Day 2: Luke 15:7, 10—What are the two themes in the parable? What would you expect to cause the Lord to rejoice? Why do you think the parables focus on one sheep and one coin being found verses lots of sheep and lots of coins? What is our responsibility when we are found? In other words, must we only be found, or do we have any other responsibility?

Day 3: Job 15:14, Jeremiah 13:23, 2 Corinthians 5:17—Can we change our nature? Why or why not? What needs to take place for our nature to change? What are other characteristics of true repentance?
