Why is believing God important in the process of repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Believing God is crucial because it forms the foundation for genuine faith and repentance.

The sermon emphasizes that the first step the Ninevites took towards repentance was their belief in God. This belief was not passive; it prompted them to act. Faith serves as the means by which one understands their position as a sinner and recognizes the need for grace. Romans 4 illustrates Abraham's faith, which was accounted to him as righteousness. In the context of repentance, believing God means accepting His testimony about our sinfulness and His provision for salvation through Christ. Faith leads to the acknowledgment that we can only be justified by grace, not works.
