What does true repentance look like?

True repentance is characterized by a heartfelt acknowledgment of one's sinfulness and an understanding of the need for God's mercy. In the sermon, Judah's response to Joseph showcases this as he offers himself in place of Benjamin, demonstrating a selfless love and recognition of his own wrongdoing. His plea reflects a genuine awareness that all have sinned and need forgiveness. True repentance moves beyond mere regret; it involves a transformation of the heart and a turning away from sin towards God, seeking His grace and mercy. This is God’s work in us, leading us to humble ourselves before Him and accept His gift of salvation through Christ.
