Repentance is the defining mark of a truly born-again Christian. Without genuine repentance—a turning away from sin with changed behavior—one's claim to conversion is hollow and superficial.

True discipleship requires actively resisting sin and overcoming it, as this is the path to eternal life and inheriting the Kingdom of God.
