Key Passage: Jonah 3:1-10

Jonah 3:1-3
Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey in breadth.

Religion without heart change is a recipe for rebellion.

The Posture of Repentance

• Believe what God says. (verse 5)
  
• Come off our throne. (verse 6)
  
• Take off our old identity. (verse 6)
  
• Grieve our sin. (verse 8)

Repentance isn’t primarily about what you’re fleeing from but whom you’re fleeing to. What good is it to run from sin if you’re running to your own resources? – Kelly Needham

Posture of Mercy
God desires that we have a posture of repentance towards Him, because He has a posture of mercy toward us.
