How do we know that Jesus can give us repentance?

Answered in 1 source

We know Jesus can grant repentance because He is exalted by God for this very purpose.

Jesus' ability to give repentance stems from His exaltation at the right hand of God, as indicated in Acts 5:31. He is the one who has the authority over spiritual matters, including the granting of repentance. It is not a mere offer but a gracious gift from the exalted Prince and Savior. The Gospel teaches us that repentance is a change of mind granted by God, whereby we recognize our need for Him and turn from our sin. As believers, we are called to seek this gift from Christ, who actively administers salvation to those He redeems.
