Mark:
Repentance means to change your mind in Greek and to turn in Hebrew. Turning from sin is a way it is often described. I prefer to say that it involves viewing sin differently than before. Rather than being indifferent to it, one is sensitive to it and seeks God's help in dealing with it. Repentance and turning to God for His provision to deal with it in being saved is something Luke 5:32, 24:47 and Acts 26:18-20 teach clearly.
