How does repentance relate to God's gift of grace?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance is a sovereign gift from God that enables the sinner to turn back to Him.

Repentance is fundamentally a sovereign gift of God, as seen in Acts 5:31, where it is stated that God gives repentance. This means that true repentance arises not from human decision alone, but as a work of God's grace in a person's heart. Such a transformation involves a genuine sorrow for sin and a heartfelt turning to God, which only occurs when the Holy Spirit convicts a sinner of their need for Christ. Therefore, to repent is to respond to God's grace, acknowledging this divine influence that leads to salvation and a renewed life in Him.
