How does faith relate to repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Faith and repentance are twin graces, where true faith in Christ naturally leads to genuine repentance.

Faith and repentance are intricately connected in the life of a believer. In Acts 20:21, Paul speaks of 'repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.' True repentance involves turning away from sin while simultaneously turning towards faith in Christ. They are two sides of the same coin; one cannot genuinely exist without the other. When we place our faith in Christ, we are compelled to repent of our sins and pursue holiness. This dynamic duo of faith and repentance reflects our transformation through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
