Metanoia is used to refer to the change of mind which is brought about in repentance. Repentance is necessary and valuable because it brings about change of mind or metanoia. This change of mind will make the changed person hate sin and love God. The two terms (repentance and metanoia) are often used interchangeably.
Why are we afraid of change? Why do we get comfortable with routine and tradition? Why are we afraid of seeking repentance?
Why do we think we have everything figured out, including God himself?
It's time for a change!
It's time for repentance!
It's time for metanoia!
