In his sermon on Luke 3:6–14, Stephen Davey explains that genuine repentance is not proven by religious claims, heritage, or moral notebooks, but by a visibly changed life. John the Baptist confronts superficial religion and calls people to produce “fruit in keeping with repentance,” warning that God is not impressed by ancestry or appearances. When the crowds ask what repentance looks like, John gives practical, ethical answers: share with those in need, stop stealing, stop abusing power, and be content with what God provides. Davey emphasizes that repentance does not mean quitting one’s job, but bringing God into everyday work, relationships, and attitudes. He concludes that true repentance exposes self-deception, transforms daily behavior, and provides unmistakable evidence that a heart has been changed by God.
