Hosea 6
June 15, 2006
*Intro:* *John 15:16, *You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and /that/ your fruit should remain, ...
*A- BUT what is it that needs to be applied to the vine before*
* it is able to bear fruit.*
1- Well before the fruit, it’s necessary to apply, the
fertilizer.
a- All the junk that we allow to enter into our lives,
although not pleasant, but are the better off
because of it.
- This is not the pruning and trimming of trials
that God shapes us with.
~* BUT the rotten garbage that we bring
in that God uses anyway.
*Luke 15:11-24*
* 2- So the garbage we bring into our lives God can use*
* as fertilizer for fruit.*
a- That tells me there is always the opportunity to
stop, turn, repent and move on and even
beyond
*> The key to this transformation is in the REPENTANCE.
(*a
change of mind that results in a change of heart*)*
*2 Peter 3:9, *The Lord is not slack concerning /His/ promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
* A- SO the service that we provide here at CCO is the *
* opportunity to make a public repentance.*
* *1- It’s the alter call invitation that once answered gives
you a point of reference in order to build upon.
a- And this is the opportunity that Israel recognizes
and misinterprets.
- As do a lot of people making an alter call.
* 2- The truth is in the fruit:*
a- Are they a contender, or a pretender.
- Contending for the Christian faith and living a
biblical life.
- Pretending to practice Christianity but mixed
in the multitudes blending in and not
standing out.
~* They do the Christian thing in that they
look and listen BUT NEVER REALLY
learn and live.
*> 3 earmarks of a counterfeit repentance *
*#1- 1st There is no acknowledgement of sin.*
* A- There can be no real repentance unless sin is seen, sin *
* is taken possession of, and sin hurts.*
* *1- Their premise is good in that they all start out well.
*Hosea 6:1, *Come, and let us return to the Lord; ...
a- They’re wanting to go from point A (bad place) to
point B ( a good place) without change.
- *9~/11* = Lets return to God (so the bombing
will stop)
*Luke 17:11-19*
*Luke 19:1-10 *Zacchaeus found a living union with Christ that
results in a changed life.
* * b- *Without* the acknowledge of sin there can be
no repentance, *without* repentance there can
be no forgiveness, *without* forgiveness there
can be no salvation.
*Matthew 3:8, *Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
* B- Where do I see all of this???*
*Hosea 6:1, *Come, and let us return to the Lord; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
* *1- *Their request is for* a healing and NOT a cleansing.
a- They wanted “things” to be all better without
“them” being made all better.
- SEE, God may use a situation or
circumstance to get someone to come to
church.
*BUT*
- It’s the knowledge of our sin and His
goodness that gets us to come to
repentance.
~* The acid test to determine if
you’re a pretender of a contender.
- If you come to the Lord and
things don’t get better; IS HE
STILL YOUR LORD?
*Matthew 13:20-21, *But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while.
For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
*> 2ND earmark of a counterfeit repentance THEY’RE LOOKING *
* FOR A QUICK FIX. *
*Hosea 6:2, *After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight.
* A- A “quick fixer” is not willing to pay the price for*
* necessary end result.*
* *1- *My shoulder:* surgery, 6 weeks in a sling, 6 weeks of
physical rehabilitation.
a- Want God to fix, mend, and revive in “3 days”,
what if He uses His calendar?
*2 Peter 3:8, *But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day /is/ as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
*B- Know this; to understand that cleansing is from the*
* Lord, it will be a DEEP CLEANSING.*
*Psalm 51:6-7, *Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden /part/ You will make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
* *
*> 3RD earmark of a counterfeit repentance THEY CONSIDER IT *
* TO BE A MECHANICAL THING.*
*Hosea 6:3, *Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter /and/ former rain to the earth.
* A- Salvation is not a chemical reaction.*
* *1- My science teacher who combined the 2 exploding
substances.
a- *Salvation is not* = 1 part walking down the isle, 1
