Why is it important to understand our need for repentance?

Repentance is a vital aspect of the Christian faith, as it involves turning away from our sins and turning toward God in faith. It is essential for recognizing our separation from Him due to sin and that we, by nature, are resistant to coming to Him. Acts 25 emphasizes that we are naturally inclined to procrastination and resistance, much like Felix, who delayed his response to God's call. God's grace enables us to see our need for repentance, leading us to true spiritual transformation and restoration, as we rely on Christ's sacrifice to atone for our sins.
