You have problem here. Well we all have many times willfully sinned oops. Sorry every sin we have done was not just being tempted. See pffft sorry.. this is the stuff that's milk..we should have moved on by now. So I hear the truth I know Jesus Christ died for my sins yet I reject it and now willfully sin. From that moment on there is nothing else out there.. I reject Christ now only judgement. Then we have those Paul was talking to that were Jewish believers and would sin and go offer a sacrifice for that sin. He or the sweet sweet holy Spirit said there is no more sacrifice for that sin. Christ can not die again. What they were doing was putting Christ to open shame.
Chrisitan's we just love to quote only parts of the word and then make same case for what we personally believe. OT/NT fact that anyone that calls on Gods name shall be saved/delivered. Christ in Matt what 11+ and then once in Jone what 7 "Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
And we have Him saying in Luke "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. " Remember Him telling some to stop sinning why so they can get to heaven? " “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” Said the woman caught in sin.. go and sin no more. Sin takes us away from Him.. He knows this and we do not fully understand it. We just or some do I do not tell the lost to repent or (Forgive me Father) burn. He died for the "sin" of the world.
There is so much of "man" all over this. I can't speak about you and your life and what seen and heard and what you truly believe. For me when all I saw was the sin I did day in day out and told Him.. the margin here says I wont get anything from you if my heart convicts me. I told Him it convicts me 24/7 so I quit. See I didn't just say it.. I meant it. So as I got up reached for the door that sweet small voice that we should know by now asked me "what is righteousness?" I turned said "ok ok righteousness is right standing with God". He asked me "how do you get righteousness?" I said by believing in Jesus". Something happened.. I cried and cried.
What I told Him is what I had heard so right after that I went to the word to make sure its written and it us. He wanted me to see me as He does. Christ already died and since I made Him lord He took my place so when He died I died..when He rose I rose and fact sin can not long touch Him. Do you see? So I don't freely sin because with in me does not want to...yet there is this other part that does want to sin and now that part has no say over me. I cannot not undo what a GOD has made new. That new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. He is in.. the Father is in me ooh the sweet holy Spirit is in me and I am in Him we are one.
Many so so many believe in Him but do not know Him..

Jn 12:32 Jesus said; if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw "all" men unto me.
(MY PARSING: Jesus was in fact lifted up on a cross, then from the grave & via His Holy Spirit draws "ALL" to Himself. Unfortunately not all except His offer)
Some background on OP headline question:
KJV Dictionary Definition: repentance
1) To change the mind in consequence of the inconvenience or injury done by past conduct.
2) To express sorrow for something past.
3. A change of mind, or a conversion from sin to God.
(MY PARSING: Changing from denying God's sovereignty & practicing abject self-service. To acknowledging God's sovereignty & willing submitting to it.)
Repentance in regards to salvation.
Ultimately, there is only one sin that stands between one receiving God's GIFT of eternal life (Rom 6:23) & eternal separation (2 Thes 1:9) from their Creator God.
Acts 20:21 (B & C) Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
(MY PARSING: The key to this verse is found in the article "TOWARD". Repentance TOWARD God & faith TOWARD Christ)
When this change/repentance from unbelief to belief is mixed with FAITH placed in Christ's sin atoning death (sins required 'Rom 6:23'wage PAID), burial (proof Jesus died) & resurrection (Father's receipt, sins payment received & accepted). The end result of will be a CHANGE in/of one's actions. Find more context: 1 Cor 15:1-4, Rom 10:8-13 & Ephesians 1:13.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
GRACE - Is a GIFT given freely & received thru FAITH: Rom 3:24, 4:16, 5:1-2, 15, "11:6" "Eph 2:5 & 8"
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

repentance comes with truth
“And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”
Genesis 6:6-7 KJV
his action isn’t the repentance part but what he feels in his heart because of his action beforehand , this then leads to the action .
“Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
2 Corinthians 7:9-10 KJV
repentance is a mechanism in the heart as we hear the truth that we’ve been wrong in our actions and we deserve death according to Gods word in tbe ot ….this is meant when we acknolwedge it , to bring us to humility and shame , sorrow and repentance ( the place where the broken decide to follow after the way promising life and salvation being humbled in thier sins
ever done something and then realize “ I really regret doing that I feel terrible bout it “ this is a person being confronted with godly sorrow trying to lead them to repentance
a lot of times Christian’s don’t want to feel bad for the things they do wrong and they convince themselves it didn’t apply or didn’t count but in this mind repentance never comes only through acknolwedging the truth does godly sorrow come to the sinner and moves them through belief to repentance by the power of godly sorrow

I would like to simplify the discussion, break down the terms and context so we all understand perspectives.
Let's define what repentance/ repent means. I don't speak Greek and am not aware that anyone in our forum does, so we are a bunch of foreigners trying to understand a different language from dictionaries, study helps and context. I'm no Greek speaking linguist.
First, I looked at the Greek terms metanoia/ metanoéō.
When I look for terms that are translated "sin", I have no matches with repent. Meta is generally change and the common noun for knowledge is gnosis.
These make sense to me if I understand correctly we are talking about a change of mind or thought.
For some reason most preachers tack on the term .......OF SIN(S). I spent untold hours, days and months trying to figure out this mystery of translation.
Some of them act as if they know better than the king James translators, William Tyndale and Erasmus put together. I've approached it from an open mind and all I find is a lot of dogmatic dogma based upon generational and denominational biases.
One sincere reason I believe that you and I have been lied to us that the person Who first repented was Who?
The Lord Himself repented!
Genesis 6:6
6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Are we to assume as the pastors do who teach that repent means "turn from sins?"
Reason would conclude with that foolish misinterpretation that God is the sinner. That is blasphemous.
Certainly, the misinterpretation has a motive considering this is no mystery.
The fact of the matter is that it's either GRACE or WORKS.
Every religion in the world except Biblical Christianity teaches works.
The preachers who my pastor invited, most shared a gospel of works . When speaking of repentance, they would tack on ......"of your sins to be saved."
We know that's the first Person to repent was God.
Guess Who repented the most?
It was the Lord.
Is repentance defined as "turning from sins?"
An honest dictionary as well as an exhaustive word study leads me to know that in basic terminology it means to change one's mind or reconsider.

Amen. Rationalizing our bad behavior and sins does not reconcile us with God. In fact, it can easily lead in the opposite direction because in essence I'm saying, "I don't need you, God. I can figure it out on my own, and my sins aren't nearly as bad as what so-and-so did." That is a dangerous attitude I need to avoid.
Rather, I need to be in-tune with God's Word and understand right and wrong actions and behavior. When I fail, I need to fully accept my sins, allow God to lead me to that state of Godly sorrow, and ask for forgiveness. The next step for me after that process is repentance - a complete change of mind and heart: What did I do wrong? Why did I do it? What steps do I need to take with the Lord's help to change and not do it again?
One of the best definitions of repentance I have heard is "to turn from." I need to "turn from" my natural inclinations to sin towards a path leading to the love and grace of God. I see repentance as an ongoing part of who I am and an ongoing need to face my sinfulness, seek forgiveness, and stay strong in my relationship with God.

amen brother that’s it exactly . As we learn and believe the gospel God is changing how we think about him and us and life sin righteousness ect beforehand we have a lot wrong when thinking about God and us
the gospel is able to change the part of us that yields to sin the part telling us “ it’s no big deal God doesn’t care I’m already forgiven I don’t need to repent ect “ that’s how the devil wants us to think God wants us to think like the gospel

Repentance is a way of life as Christians from my point of view. No matter how "well" I'm doing at living out and sharing the gospel, sin is at the core of my corrupt nature. When it comes to the surface, I need to immediately address it by asking for forgiveness and God's help to avoid giving in to the temptation (always easier said than done).
I like the verse quoted in the opening post of this forum:
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Peter reveals the compassionate nature of God, who wants everyone to repent and live the abundant life within His kingdom. Maybe I'm too much of an optimist in this area, but I believe most will eventually repent versus facing the alternative.
What's your take on the question,
"When do people truly repent of their sins, before or after truly believing in Jesus?"
For me, the repentance started after I truly believed in Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. Like humility, repentance is a gift and Godly trait that can only come through the power of the Spirit:
Romans 2:4
New King James Version
4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
I like how both Peter and Paul emphasize the "longsuffering" God has towards us, and His patience is immense given the rebellion we have exhibited as a race throughout the ages. It's God's goodness that leads me to repentance, not some feeble effort I make by my limited strength to address and overcome my sins.

I’m pretty much in agreement with you . I believe as we grow in our relationship with Jesus he reveals more light to us ( light bieng judgement and truth in the gospel ) …and as he does this more of the things we need to repent of “come to light “ and he never gives us more than we are capable of maintaining once we commit to him . He prepares us teaches us then our faith is tested until it’s refined in him and then we’re given more because we overcome that hurdle and we’re ready for the next bit always Jesus is there with us and has provided doctrine for repentance confession and provision of remission of sins in his blood and in his name and by his word in the gospel
“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:6-10
i believe that when we’ve done wrong and realize we have consciously then it’s time to repent we should ask God for a sensitive conscience towards our own actions and then we’ll fell terrible when we’ve done something we know is wrong which , that’s godly sorrow that brings repentance into salvation
i think sometimes we still fail and fall down after we convert and there is doctrine for us who do
Brother this kind of thing is for people who understand they aren’t perfect but they believe with all thier heart in Jesus the Lord !
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
( this isn’t about the past he already died for sins but it’s doctrine for his disciples who are gonna still fall short sometimes )
but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
to me repentance also is tied to this law of mercy taught heavily in the gospel
“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
…..And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
Luke 6:36-38, 46 KJV
For me being judgemental and condemning others Constantly eyeing for everyone else’s sin and flaw is actually something that’s extremely important for us to repent of
most of us aren’t killers and thieves and adulterers but we still do a lot wrong towards others in action and also in thought and intent which when we receive the holy spirit in us becomes important what we think about and dwell On I mean ….we’ve become Gods temple for his spirit
sorry to ramble on there I agree with you it’s a process and no one’s perfect yet we still have the capacity to sin but also many of us are sinning in some way and don’t even realize it yet because …..we haven’t heard the stuff that makes us grow up and mature in our understanding of Jesus and his kingdom
“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Amen if I think “ God no longer cares if I sin there’s no consequences now I’m saved regardless “ this will lead to one path
But if I hear and believe the gospel
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3 KJV
This thinking will lead me to repentance if I accept it . Not the opposite thinking that it doesn’t matter whether I repent or not but the proper understanding tbat I need to repent and stop serving sin this when it’s accepted will change my mind to the right thought and will lead to the right action
