How do we know God grants repentance?

Answered in 1 source

God grants repentance as a display of His grace and goodness, as illustrated in various scripture passages.

Romans 2:4 emphasizes that it is the goodness and forbearance of God that leads a person to repentance. This implies that God's initiative is crucial and that repentance is not conjured by human effort or reasoning. The granting of repentance proves God's character as good and kind, as He allows individuals to turn from their sin and embrace the truth of salvation. Throughout scripture, instances like Matthew 9:13 confirms that Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. Therefore, the fact that we can repent at all is evidence of God's sovereign will and loving-kindness toward His elect.
