How does God make His people willing to repent?

Answered in 1 source

God makes His people willing to repent through the power of His grace in their lives.

Scripture teaches that by nature, individuals do not possess the will or desire to repent and turn to God. However, Psalm 110:3 reveals that 'Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power.' This indicates that it is God who initiates and empowers the will to repent. When God set His love upon His chosen ones, He also provides the means by which they can come willingly to Him, transforming their hearts to respond in faith and obedience. This divine action is part of the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit, who not only convicts of sin but also enables believers to embrace Christ and His salvation willingly. Thus, the willingness to repent is a gift from God himself, reflecting His grace in the life of a believer.
