How do we know that faith and repentance go together?

Answered in 1 source

Faith and repentance are inseparable, as one cannot truly turn to God without simultaneously exercising faith in Him.

In the context of Jonah's preaching to Nineveh, we see that where there is genuine repentance, there is also faith given by God. As the people of Nineveh heard Jonah’s message, they believed God and proclaimed a fast, demonstrating their faith in response to the call for repentance. This concept aligns with Romans 10:13-15, which emphasizes the necessity of preaching and hearing the Word of God as a means for faith to arise. Therefore, repentance and faith, both gifts from God, are vital components of the believer's response to the gospel and must occur simultaneously in the heart of a sinner seeking salvation.
