How do we know that salvation requires repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation requires repentance as it is commanded by God in Scripture, showing a necessity for a changed heart.

The necessity of repentance for salvation is deeply rooted in biblical teaching. In Acts 2:38, Peter's call to repentance comes after a profound recognition of Christ's lordship, emphasizing that turning away from sin is essential for forgiveness. This aligns with the broader teaching of Jesus, who repeatedly called individuals to repent as foundational to entering the kingdom of God (Matthew 4:17). By acknowledging both our sin and God’s grace, repentance transforms our hearts, enabling us to embrace the fullness of salvation offered through Christ. Importantly, true repentance is a gift from God (Acts 5:31, 2 Timothy 2:25), further affirming its necessity in God's redemptive plan.
