How does repentance factor into our understanding of God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance is an essential response to God's grace that involves turning from sin and trusting in Christ alone for salvation.

In the context of God's grace, repentance is not merely a feeling of remorse but an active turning away from sin toward Christ. The gospel reveals that humans are naturally inclined towards sin, but through God's rich mercy, we are called to turn from our destructive paths. Repentance is the heart's response to recognizing our need for salvation in light of God's holiness and justice. This transformative act is empowered by the Holy Spirit and is ongoing throughout a believer's life, leading to genuine change and a deeper relationship with God. The assurance of salvation lies in Christ alone, not in our efforts, as we continue to repent and believe.
