How do we know that God has granted us repentance?

Answered in 1 source

We know God has granted us repentance when we experience a care for sin and a desire to turn from it (2 Corinthians 7:11).

The passage in 2 Corinthians 7:11 details seven evidences of godly repentance, which include carefulness, clearing of oneself, indignation about sin, fear of dishonoring God, a vehement desire for righteousness, zeal, and a sense of justice. These characteristics reveal that true repentance is not a superficial emotion but a profound transformation of the heart that leads one to genuinely acknowledge their sinfulness and the holiness of God. When believers exhibit these traits, they can be assured that God has granted them true repentance.
