The Kindness of God Leads to Repentance

What is genuine repentance? Where does it come from? Christians understand it follows: 1) a Recognized State of Sinful Depravity, 2) a Grieving Sorrow over Sin, 3) a Humble Submission to Christ, 4) an Earnest Pursuit of Righteousness. All of this is a gift from God that follows the reality of His kindness.
