Because repentance literally means "change you mind", which has to do with "cognitive choice" (thought) NOT "manifested action" (works).
Choice is not work, it is thought. You may want to sin and are powerless to stop yourself from doing it, but if by grace through faith you choose to obey, in that moment CHRIST IN YOU takes over and gets the obedience done for you, plain and simple. You get no credit. You get no glory. Victory is guaranteed and your faith in Jesus has delivered you from slavery to sin.
THAT'S WHY THE "CHRISTIAN" WHO IS CONSTANTLY MAKING EXCUSES FOR HABITUAL SIN ONLY SERVES TO PROVE HE HAS NOT THE SON OF GOD DWELLING IN HIM. It's not a complicated concept, but very unpopular in our modern sin-loving church.

The only way you will be glorified is if you are in christ or not . You can claim ' relationship ' all day long ,but if you have not recieved him its in vain . A person can recieve Jesus on Monday and die on Tuesday. He goes to be with the Lord . Through a ' relationship ' ? Through enduring commitment ? Through good deeds of faith? No . He was ' in him ' sealed by the Holy Spirit . A child of God through the new birth ' known of God ' baptised into the body by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus dealt with Sin on the cross. Thats why he died on the cross and his blood was shed . A person is saved when he trusts this to be the case . Until a person humbles himself to accept his position of utter helplessness in light of the cross ,Anything else is rejection of Christ . Its rejection of the free gift of salvation. A man cannot recieve salvation until he trusts the one who did it all. Thats the Gospel. The Gospel is not as the Mormons teach " your saved by grace , AFTER all YOU can DO " .
No one is saying they are granted to sin . What are you talking about ? Since when does any one teach that sin is good to do and that it reaps rewards ? When they first started putting safety nets under the construction of the brooklyn bridge productivity increased . This is what those who have been deceived into ' condition salvation ' are blind to . And that is assurance and security are the very motivation to live for God .
