How does God grant repentance to believers?

Answered in 1 source

God grants repentance through His providence, trials, and the work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life.

The process by which God grants repentance is tied closely to His sovereign actions in a believer's life. Through various trials and chastening, as described in Hebrews 12, God reveals our sinfulness and leads us to a state of repentance. This is not a mere emotional response but a deep, spiritual awakening where we begin to acknowledge our transgressions and cry out to God for mercy. Such transformation is driven by the Holy Spirit’s work in our hearts, illuminating the truth of the gospel and the necessity of turning from our sin towards a relationship with Christ. As believers experience this ongoing work, they are continually drawn closer to Christ, cultivating a mindset that seeks to obey and honor God.
