How do we know gospel repentance is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Gospel repentance is shown through a sincere, ongoing change of heart and behavior that leads one to rely solely on Christ for salvation.

True gospel repentance is evidenced by a continual turning away from sin and a reliance on Christ alone for salvation. Paul contrasts godly sorrow that produces repentance leading to salvation with worldly sorrow that leads to death (2 Corinthians 7:10). The Ninevites' example shows that their works were not mere outward rituals but alongside their belief in God, signifying true internal transformation. Gospel repentance isn't transient but is a consistent orientation of the heart toward Christ, as demonstrated by the Ninevites' reaction to Jonah's preaching.
