What does it mean to repent?

Answered in 2 sources

Repentance involves a radical change of mind and turning away from sin to trust in Christ for salvation.

Repentance is not merely feeling sorry for past sins; it represents a profound transformation of heart and mind directed towards Christ. In the sermon, the message of John the Baptist is highlighted as calling people to repent — to undergo a 180-degree turn from their former ways to embrace faith in Jesus. Scripturally, true repentance is a gift from God, indicating that one cannot effectuate change on their own but must seek divine intervention (Jeremiah 31:18). This biblical concept underscores the importance of turning from idolatry and self-reliance to trusting solely in the grace of Christ for forgiveness and righteousness.
