Is repentance saying that you are sorry, apologizing, determining to do better? Remorse, contrition, a death bed or death row wish?
Repentance is required for salvation. Is it possible to live a good life after repenting? Is it a complete 180 as many people say? What about a change of course or action?
When a person repents does something happen between them and God that exempts them from punishment, such as by a court? What if a sentence has already been given or passed? And, what if it involves death? For example, a murderer or a rapist being sentenced to death and having 24 hours to repent, if that ever happens as has been suggested. Is this then just getting right with God before your death? What of a lesser crime, sentence, or conviction? What does repentance look like then?
