{{summary | text=Repentence is a sincere realization of past and present wrongs with a promise to no longer continue to commit those wrongs. In the [[Bible]], we are told to that be [[saved]] we need to repent of our [[sins. In some denominations, such as the Eastern Orthodox, this act is only deemed the beginning of repentance. Repentence in such traditions is considered a life-long process of turning away from all sin]]s(sometimes poetically referred to as "the world" or "the flesh") and towards God.}}
