Understanding True Repentance

True repentance is not merely feeling guilty for sin; it is a godly sorrow that leads to a change of mind and direction. To repent is to turn from sin and turn toward God, forsaking the old way and embracing the new life He offers. The Gospel calls every soul to repentance and faith. This is not a one-time act alone but a continual posture of the heart — humble, contrite, and ready to be made new by the grace of Jesus Christ.
