Why does Jesus emphasize the necessity of repentance in His teachings?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus emphasizes repentance as it leads to understanding one's need for grace and prevents eternal judgment (Luke 13:5).

Jesus stresses the necessity of repentance throughout His ministry because it confronts the human tendency to gauge one's righteousness based on appearance or comparative standards. In Luke 13:5, He repeats His imperative, emphasizing that unless one repents, they will face eternal consequences. This repetition underscores the seriousness of the command and highlights the need for individuals to recognize their sinful nature and need for grace. Repentance aligns one's heart with God's demand for genuine humility and faith in Christ’s redemptive work.
