To repent for me means to change my ways. This is what God expects of us and He has made it a possibility. God does not change, but He wants us to approach Him. To do so we must change.
Ex 33:18 | And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. |
Ex 33:19 | And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. |
Ex 33:20 | And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. |
Ex 33:21 | And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: |
Ex 33:22 | And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: |
Ex 33:23 | And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. |
Moses could not then see His face, but can we now approach a face to face encounter with Him?
1co 13:12 | For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. |
When iis then?
