What does the Bible say about godly repentance?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible clearly commands repentance as essential for salvation and reveals it as a response to understanding God's righteousness.

The Bible emphasizes the necessity of godly repentance as a response to the righteousness of God revealed in the gospel. In Acts 17:30, God commands all men everywhere to repent, signifying that this is not merely a suggestion but a divine imperative. Repentance is described as essential to salvation because it indicates a change of mind, action, and direction initiated by the revelation of God's righteousness through Christ's finished work. Without a true understanding of this righteousness, a sinner has no basis for genuine repentance, as they remain unaware of their true condition and need for salvation.
