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.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Repentance is a profound process that encompasses feeling genuine regret for past actions, particularly those considered sinful or harmful.
It involves intentionally turning away from these sinful behaviors and committing to changing one’s mindset and lifestyle.
This transformation requires not only a change in our actions but also a renewed mind, as the Bible teaches.
