Repentance
A change of mind and heart that turns from sin to God—central to Jesus’ message.
To repent means to turn around: away from sin and self, toward God. John the Baptist and Jesus both began preaching, ‘Repent.’
True repentance bears fruit in a changed life, and it is met by God’s ready forgiveness.
