Repentance is from God - He grants it - It is not something that we produce.
All these scriptures show this truth. Acts 5:31 ; Acts 11:18 ; 2 Tim. 2:25
Acts 11:18 (KJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
2 Timothy 2:24-25 (NASB)
[SUP]24 [/SUP] The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,
[SUP]25 [/SUP] with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,
It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. Rom. 2:4
Repentance is not a work that we do by our own will-power or human effort. It's a product of the grace and love of God being manifested to us when we hear of Christ and all that He has done.
