There are only two classes of people in the world, both then as well as now: Those who repent of their sins and those who refuse to; those who turn away from their sins and those who won't. It is very important to understand this, because a person who comes to Jesus and becomes a true follower of His is always a person who is turning away from their sins. There is no exception. A person who is not turning away from their sins is not a true follower of Jesus, no matter what it may say on their bumper sticker. Being a follower of Jesus and being truly repentant cannot be separated from each other. When we speak about being repentant, you may ask, repentant of what? Repentant of our selfishness, our pride, our lust, our bitterness and resentment, and our lack of self-control, just to name a few.
