Why is repentance not a condition for forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance is not a condition for forgiveness; rather, it is the result of understanding and accepting the efficacy of Christ's blood.

The belief that repentance is a prerequisite for forgiveness undermines the finished work of Christ. The true condition for forgiveness is the blood of Jesus, which alone satisfies the demands of justice. When one is gripped by the reality of Christ’s sacrifice, true repentance will inevitably follow, stemming from a heart transformed by grace. Therefore, it is critical to understand that without the foundational assurance of Christ's atoning work, no genuine repentance can occur.
