How do we know that repentance is necessary?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance is necessary because we are all sinners in need of a Savior, as Jesus Himself indicates.

Jesus’ call to repentance is rooted in the truth that mankind is inherently sinful and in need of redemption. As it states in Matthew 9:13, He did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. This recognition of our sinful state is crucial; it’s what makes us realize our need for grace. Without acknowledging our sinfulness, we cannot truly understand the depth of our need for salvation, nor can we appreciate Christ’s sacrificial love for us. The command to repent is thus both a recognition of our need and an invitation to receive grace through faith in Christ.
