Mark 1:14
14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
What is repentance or what does it mean to repent? It can be debated but I’m thankful to have the official definition from Webster.com

Repentance or to repent is initially a one time occurrence that we should roll into our daily checklists. We transition from changing our minds about living a life without Christ to accepting Him. We transition from daily thinking like the world system says think to renewing our minds and taking on the mind of Christ. Its all repentance and to repent daily is necessary for our growth in the Lord.
