The Call, Fall and Restoration of God’s Redeemed: Part 2

Peter’s Call: The Confession of the Redeemed: Luke 5:1-11

1st The Confession of One’s Own Sinfulness:

“Depart from me O Lord, for I am a Sinful Man.” Luke 5:8

1 Peter 1:18-19

Redeemed: To be released, liberated, set free, delivered, by receipt of a payment, of ransom.

From a futile way of life inherited from your forefathers.
Not with Gold or Silver, but with the precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
From Every Lawless Deed. Titus 2:11-13

From Unrighteousness to Righteousness.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The Publican and Tax Gatherer: Luke 18:9-14

From Moral Failure to Restoration: David,

2 Samuel 12:13 I have sinned against the Lord.

Psalm 51:3 For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me. 4 Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge.

From Far Away from Home to the Road Home:

Luke 15:21 “Father, I have sinned against heave and in your sight”

2nd The Confession of His Lordship. Matthew 16:13-23

This Confession Comes from the Mouth of the Redeemed:

Romans 10:8-11

This Confession Bows to His Lordship (His Rule):

Philippians 2:9-13

This Confession of Jesus, Produces God’s Confession of You:

Luke 12:32 Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But who ever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

This Confession comes By the Holy Spirit:

1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”, and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
