What does "repent" mean to you?
My understanding is from original work "metanoia", which is the "after mind", that is, the mind you now have, having exchanged your mind. I understand our repentance to be when we realize Jesus is in fact our necessary Savior, and we choose to trust in Him.
We've repudiated our flesh, who we were before knowing Jesus, though we may not have all the theology on that. We've repudiated our sinfulness, and chosen new life in Christ. This is when God regenerates us, making us new, and we truly have the "after mind", the new mind of Christ.
When I think about common ideas of repenting, there is to stop a sin, repudiate ongoing sin, repudiate inner sinfulness, repudiate myself the sinner. The latter two have more to do with my idea of metanoia. The first two I think reflect the meaning of the corresponding Hebrew word.
Much love!
