How do we know repentance is granted by God?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance is a gift from God, as seen in 2 Timothy 2:25, where it states that God may give repentance to those who acknowledge the truth.

In the realm of sovereign grace theology, repentance is understood as a sovereign act of God. As highlighted in 2 Timothy 2:25, repentance is not a mere emotional response or a self-generated act but something that God grants to individuals who recognize their need for Him. The scriptures remind us that true repentance leads us to acknowledge our sins and turn our hearts towards Christ for salvation. Without God’s intervention, the heart remains hardened and unable to repent. This was evident in the life of Herod, who recognized his sin but failed to genuinely repent because he did not have saving faith in Christ.
