32. Repent, repentance
Repent, repentance – a change of mind, which results in a change of behavior. We change from an attitude of resisting God, to an attitude of trusting him. Since this change in attitude can be seen in our behavior, we can also say that we repent of wrong behaviors. But the change in attitude is more important.
