What does the Bible say about God's command to repent?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible commands all men everywhere to repent, emphasizing the need for a true sense of sin and the urgency due to the coming judgment.

The Bible, particularly in Acts 17:30, states, 'The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent.' This command emphasizes that God, who has shown remarkable forbearance throughout human history, now calls all people to recognize their sin and turn to Him in repentance. This is significant because it comes in the context of an appointed day of judgment, as illustrated in Acts 17:31, where God has confirmed this by raising Jesus from the dead. Therefore, the command to repent is both a duty and a gracious invitation to experience the mercy of God.
