How do we know if our repentance is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Genuine repentance is evidenced by a clear turning away from sin and a new direction towards God.

To determine if one's repentance is genuine, it is important to observe that true repentance manifests as a clear turning away from sin and a decisive move towards God and His righteousness. It is not merely a momentary feeling of guilt but a profound change initiated by the understanding of God's righteousness as revealed in the gospel. As seen in Romans 6:17-18, true believers 'obey from the heart that form of doctrine,' indicating that their repentance is integrally tied to their faith in Christ. Thus, genuine repentance is marked by a transformed life that seeks to glorify God by walking in His ways and renouncing previous idolatry and dead works.
