What does the Bible say about hearing and repenting?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true hearing of God's Word leads to genuine repentance.

In Luke 11:31-32, Jesus illustrates the importance of hearing and repentance through the examples of the Queen of Sheba and the men of Nineveh. The Queen traveled far to hear the wisdom of Solomon and was left awestruck by his understanding. Similarly, the men of Nineveh, after hearing Jonah's preaching, repented of their sins. Both instances demonstrate that genuine hearing of God's truth results in a change of heart and mind, leading to repentance. The connection between hearing God's Word and repentance is central in sovereign grace theology, emphasizing that faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
