If repent means to turn away, when we repent, what do we turn away from?
Also, to repent means we are sorry for doing something, what would we be sorry of doing when we repent?
Well, I was sorry for not having believed and trusted in my Creator, although godly sorrow shouldn't be confused with repentance. And, I was sorry for having served my flesh instead of the living and true God.
1 Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
I think this verse shows it very well. The Comforter (Holy Spirit) came to reprove the world of sin....."because they believe not on me".
John 16:7-9 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;
When we believe the Gospel and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have repented unto LIFE. Turning from unbelief to believing is how we are saved. Our sins were paid for by the Lord on the cross.
