Repentance is a change in the way we think which will change the way we act.
So when a person repents they recognize that they have thought and acted wrongly.
They decide to think and act differently in the future.
To repent of your sins, you pray to God in Jesus's name with a repentant heart and ask for forgiveness.

The easy part to that question is not to do any more what you repented then there is the judgement against you that has to be considered either by man or God that you have to have faith in.

Mt. 21:28-31 explains it, "I will not, but afterward he repented and went."

I don't repent at all.
I do NOT allow the Bible to act as a directive.
The envy, greed, words, and two-bit morals of
two thousand years ago are not going to tell
me that I have to 'repent' in my here-and-now.
Christ-based faith and its routines may be acceptable,
but they are the furthest thing from being necessary.

Jesus never said what that entails. Christians just believe it is the changing of your mind. I think it must be a man and woman getting born again in order to enter the kingdom of God. But Jesus did not say this so I do not know but think it is a man and woman being born again. Now that makes sense to me. What about you?
@Gentile Are you saying that you are birthing yourself by changing your own mind and stop sinning? That is not the truth that Jesus tells us in the bible. A man and woman must be born of the Spirit therefore it is the Spirit that births you and not you changing your mind.
