Repentance has several different meanings depending on the context.
- Repentance is a feeling of regret or sorrow; when you wish you had never done something.
Example: Genesis 6:5-6 "And it rpented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." God is sorry that he created humans, they have become so wicked.
- Repentance is a turning away, to cease. Example: Revalation 2:16 "Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth." The Holy Spirit is warning the curch of Pergamos to stop their fornication.
- Repentance is a change of the mind, or rather a change in the mind; a metamorphasis. Example: Luke 13:1-5 "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
