10 verses about repentance

Repentance is a fundamental point in our journey with God. Only when we are ready to repent of our sins, when we are ready to turn from them, are we also ready to receive the gospel. Repentance is not the conviction of sin but it is to change course, to take a path different from the one we were following. Above all, repentance must bear fruit.
