SermonAudio.com - Ten Shekels and a Shirt: "Ten Shekels and a Shirt"
Dear friends, there is only one reason, one reason for a sinner to repent and that is because Jesus Christ deserves the worship and the adoration and the love and the obedience of his heart, not because he will go to heaven. If the only reason you repented, dear friend, was to keep out of hell all you are is just a Levite serving for 10 shekels and a shirt. That’s all. You are trying to serve God because he will do you good. But a repentant heart is a heart that has seen something of the enormity of the crime of playing god and denying the just and righteous God the worship and obedience that he deserves.
Why should a sinner repent? Because God deserves the obedience and love that he has refused to give him, not so that he will go to heaven.
If the only reason he repents is so that he will go to heaven, it is nothing but trying to make a deal or a bargain with God.

Downloading and listening to this sermon may be your most valuable endeavor. It is the best sermon I've ever heard. I've probably recommended this before. I like to listen to it now and again as a direction check, my little GPS device informing me how far off track I am at any moment.
