• Adam and Eve (Genesis 3.9-13)
• Aaron (Exodus 32.1-5, 21-24)
• Saul (1 Samuel 13.8-14;15.10-31)

Repentance With No Excuses

• David (2 Samuel 12.7-13)
• Jews on Pentecost (Acts 2.36-37)
• Saul of Tarsus (Acts 9.1-9. 18)

Patterns of Pentinence

• Did not attack the messenger
• Owned personal responsibility for actions
• Resigned to the consequences of sin
• Asked guidance for true restoration, not how to save face
• Acted on divine instruction for restoration

Which one am I

• Isaiah 57.15-21
