In the New Testament, there are two main words translated as repent and repentance: Metanoeō (met-an-ŏ-eh´-o) and Metanoia (met-an´-oy-ah). Through these words, Christ emphasizes that repentance involves changing and guiding one’s thoughts, attitude, mind, and heart toward God. It is more than just behavioral change—it reflects the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ for all mankind, as well as the love and sacrifice that He and the Father desire to see in us.
