Excellent Jerry!

Repentance and Faith go hand in hand. You can't have faith, (saving faith) in Jesus without repenting. You can't just repent, (be sorry for your sin) to be saved if you are not trusting in Jesus for your eternal life.

In repentance we turn from being slaves to sin, we forsake our sin, we turn instead to be in line with God's will. We surrender our own selfish will and follow Jesus. This is true trust/belief in Jesus, to follow Him.

Of course we still have our flesh, so we won't be sinless until we are glorified with Him. The change is that we now hate our sin. I can remember before how I loved my sin and didn't want to let go of it. This has definitely changed!!!

You know when you have a repentant heart.
