What is the role of repentance in claiming God's promises?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance is crucial as it represents a turning away from sin and an acknowledgment of one's need for God's mercy.

Repentance plays a vital role in receiving God's promises as it reflects a heart turned away from sin and toward God’s grace. In recognizing one's sinfulness, a person exhibits the qualities of being poor in spirit and contrite, which Isaiah notes as necessary to attract God's gaze of mercy. Without repentance, the conditions for receiving God's promises are not met, as it involves a heart of humility and the acknowledgment of one's failures before God. This act of turning is both a sign of faith and a prerequisite for experiencing the fullness of God's salvation.
