What role does faith play in the process of repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is intrinsically linked to repentance, as true repentance results in faith in Christ as the only means of salvation.

Faith and repentance are two sides of the same coin in the experience of salvation. When a believer repents, they turn from sin and place their trust in Christ for salvation. Acts 20:21 illustrates this relationship, indicating a call to 'repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.' This faith is not self-generated but is gifted by God, who enables individuals to understand their need for salvation. Thus, genuine repentance cannot exist apart from faith, and together they reflect the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the believer.
