How does repentance relate to faith in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance and faith are inseparable; true faith in Christ is accompanied by genuine repentance.

Repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin in the Christian life. As Paul states in Acts 20:21, believers are called to have repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. This means that when the Holy Spirit creates genuine sorrow for sin in a believer's heart, it naturally leads them to trust in Christ for forgiveness and salvation. Rather than viewing repentance as a one-time act, it should be understood as a continuous process that flows from a faithful relationship with Jesus, where turning to Him in faith is a response to recognizing our sinfulness.
