Since the fall of man, man'smind has been turned against God and directed toward many persons, things, and matters other than God. Furthermore, man is controlled by his mind, doing the desires of the thoughts. the desires of man's thoughts, whether they are good or bad, are always contrary to God and are directe towrd persons, things, and matters other than God. because of this, man also behaves himself in a way that is contrary to God and is thus directed towrd persons, things, and matters other than God. Therefore, man should repent and have a change in his mind so that his conduct and behavior may also change accordingly. The repentance that God desires is that man would have a change of mind and turn towrd God. Such a repentance is not only to correct man's wrongdoings; it is even more to turn the mind from things other than God to God. A person's repentance is nothing less than his change from rejecting God and being turned against God to desiring god and being turned toward God. Real repentance should be a repentance unto God (Act 20:21) a turning in reality from all things to God

Repentance... Is a spirit that God gives you. You can't just be sorry over your sin. That is what the Bible calls worldly sorrow. You ask Jesus to grant you a spirit of repentance, which means that you are truly sorry that it hurt God....
True Repentance is turning 180 degrees from your sin and going the other way.

To repent means to turn around and go the other way. So, if you're sinning, you repent by stopping and doing the right thing.

When you notice and realize that you are doing things that God will not approve, you make a choice to completely abandon and follow God s approved ways. To me I feel its that simple. God gave man the liberty to choose. The choice must be complete with inherent commitment to remain focussed and ask God to give you the power to overcome the dubious temptation of going backwards. Repentance is a serious commitment.

To be grieved at your heart for doing something bad and turning around as never to do it again . You must ask for forgiveness and make atonement, do good works befitting repentance.

To me repent means to own up to my sins and turn away from them. Basically, not to habitally sin. We will all sin until we die, but there is a difference of intentionally sinning all the time. Then, my salvation would be questioned.

Repentance is recognition of those sins committed and having deep enough regrets and sorrow to do something about it, such as never doing them again.

You were going in one direction, you turned 180 degrees and started back.
You were believing one way, you changed from thinking that way to a completely different way of thinking.
You were busting tryiing to do the law.
Then you believe the law was not for you and Jesus paid the price, He did the work, you don't have to.
