How is repentance a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance is a gift from God that enables individuals to turn from sin towards Him.

In Acts 17:30, the call for repentance is framed as an imperative for all mankind, yet it is also understood as a divine gift. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, God opens the hearts of individuals to recognize their sin and leads them to genuine repentance. This transformative work is crucial for salvation, as without repentance, one cannot rightly turn to Christ. Acknowledging that repentance is granted by God emphasizes His sovereign grace in the salvation process and highlights the necessity of divine intervention in the believer's life.
