Repentance

Repentance is a change of mind followed by corresponding action. Matthew 21:28-80 is a perfect illustration of repentance. In the repentance of a saint, sorrow is mingled; indeed, it is godly sorrow which produces his repentance (2 Cor. 7:9, 10). The word used by Paul in verse 8 should be translated “regret” not repent.
