What does it mean to repent in the Christian faith?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance in Christianity signifies turning away from sin and turning toward God for forgiveness and new life.

In the context of Acts 17:30, Paul states that God commands all people everywhere to repent. Repentance is a transformative act involving recognition of one's sinfulness and the rejection of idolatrous practices. It entails a heartfelt turning towards God, seeking His grace and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. The call to repentance is rooted in the understanding that apart from God, we are lost in our sin. The process of repentance is essential for salvation, leading to a restored relationship with God and obedience to His will, aligning our lives with His purpose.
