Repentance is a crucial and transformative step in an individual’s spiritual journey, serving as a catalyst for big personal change and renewal.
It involves acknowledging one’s wrongdoings, feeling genuine remorse, and making a conscious decision to change one’s behavior. However, without repenting of their sins, individuals won’t attain true salvation, as it is the process of turning away from sin.
