How is repentance related to faith?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance and faith are inseparable; one cannot exist without the other in a believer's life (Acts 20:21).

Repentance and faith are intrinsically linked, as each complements and confirms the other in the believer’s experience. Acts 20:21 encapsulates this relationship by stating that Paul testified about both repentance toward God and faith toward Jesus Christ. Just as a sheet of paper has two sides, both repentance and faith are necessary for true conversion. When a person repents of sin, they are simultaneously placing their trust in Christ, and genuine faith in Christ naturally leads to a repentant heart. Without one, the other is incomplete; thus, any discussion of salvation must include both aspects to portray a holistic understanding of what it means to be reconciled to God.
