How do we know the necessity of repentance in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

The necessity of repentance is emphasized in Acts 17:30, where God commands all men everywhere to turn from their sins.

Repentance is a central theme throughout Scripture, highlighted in Acts 17:30 where Paul asserts that God now commands all people to repent. This act of turning away from sin and turning towards God is not merely a suggestion but a divine mandate. It is crucial for salvation, as the acknowledgment of sin and the pursuit of forgiveness are foundational to experiencing God's grace. In 2 Corinthians 7:10, Paul also outlines how godly sorrow leads to repentance, which produces salvation. Thus, repentance is vital for establishing a right relationship with God and is a requisite for receiving His forgiveness.
