      3. God grants a sinner the opportunity to be trusted and used again in service to the Lord.
      4. Arise – term given to prophets to tell them it is time to start the work. (1Kin 21:18, Jer 1:17, Ezek 3:22, Mic 2:10, 1Sam 23:4)
    3. Who are the preachers today? (2Tim 4:2, Mt 28:19-20, 1Pt 3:15, Acts 8:4)

  4. Repentance requires a change of heart and life in the Sinner (Jonah 3:8b, 10)
    1. True repentance is about a change of life, a radical change of life. (WSC 87)

  5. One of the great difficulties of repentance is passing it on to the next generation
