The
doctrine of repentance as taught in the Bible is a call to persons to make a
radical turn from one way of life to another. The repentance (metanoia)
called for throughout the Bible is a summons to a personal, absolute and
ultimate unconditional surrender to God as Sovereign. Though it includes sorrow
and regret, it is more than that. It is a call to conversion from
self-love, self-trust, and self-assertion to obedient trust and self-commitment
to God.[2] It is a change of mind that involves a conscious turning away from
wrong actions, attitudes and thoughts that conflict with a Godly lifestyle and
biblical commands, and an intentional turning toward doing that which the Bible
says pleases God. In repenting, one makes a complete change of direction (180° turn)
toward God.
