The manner in which faith and repentance are coupled together in Scripture plainly shows that as faith is implicitly present in repentance, so repentance is implicitly in faith.

Repentance
Repentance, if it is sincere, will be universal. It will extend to every known sin. He who does not repent of everything that is evil, truly repents of nothing.

Faith and Repentance
The manner in which faith and repentance are coupled together in Scripture plainly shows that as faith is implicitly present in repentance, so repentance is implicitly in faith.
— R. L. Dabney
Repentance
Only when we turn away from looking at our sin to look at the face of God, do we begin to repent. Only by seeing that there is grace and forgiveness with him would we ever dare to repent and thus return to the fellowship and presence of the Father. Only when grace appears on the horizon offering forgiveness will the sunshine of the love of God melt our hearts and draw us back to him.
