Repentance

Definition-a change of mind. Biblical Repentance is a turning toward and a turning away; literally a turning toward God and away from Sin.

Thayer’s Greek Lexicon defines repentance as “the change of mind of those who have begun to abhor their errors and misdeeds, and have determined to enter up a better course of life, so that it (repentance) is both recognition of sin and sorrow for it.”
