Ok so, we all know that true repentance is a sign of salvation and does not really directly save a person but is a sign that they are saved. A truly saved person will always have repentance and works because it is the Holy Spirit that works these things in us.
But, my question is what makes a repentance a valid repentance? Surely it is more than just telling God you're sorry because even the heathens do that. My second question is what role does repentance have to do with our sinful lives? Surely if we repent of a sin it shouldn't keep going on.
Like say for example sexual sin which Paul tells us to flee from that as if it were the devil. But, if you continue sleeping around well then your repentance Surely wasn't valid was it?
