What does the Bible say about repentance towards God?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance towards God involves a change of mind and heart, turning away from sin and towards faith in Jesus Christ.

The Bible teaches that repentance is a vital aspect of salvation and it entails a transformation in how a person regards sin and God. As discussed in the sermon, true repentance is a change of mind, which results in a change of direction in life. It is not merely feeling sorry for one's sins, but rather a deep realization of one's sinful condition before a holy God, leading one to embrace the Savior. This is affirmed in Romans 2:4, which states that it is the kindness of God that leads us to repentance. Therefore, repentance must be understood in the light of God's grace, where the awakening to our sinfulness comes through the work of the Holy Spirit who convinces us of our sins and points us to Christ for forgiveness.
