Repentance: What It Means to Truly Turn to Jesus

  • Genuine repentance shows up as a change in heart and behavior, not just an apology without follow-through.
  • Paul’s dramatic turnaround and the Samaritan woman’s immediate witness illustrate how repentance produces visible transformation.
  • Baptism pictures death, burial, and resurrection into a new life, and the Holy Spirit helps believers keep changing over time.

This is Question #3 in Anessa Westbrook and Michael Strickland’s New Birth: Conversion and Baptism.
