Heart vs. actions Properties/activities/elements/associations
 * I think it is an act of the heart. Joel 2:12 rend heart and not garments. Therefore also affects actions.
 * But greek word means paradigm shift with applicability to actions
 * If repenting involves actual behavior change (which it does) then trusting Gods acceptance is required for the action change to be useful.
 * Often associated with fasting.
 * Rend clothes, sackcloth and ashes.
 * Mourning.
 * In community often more than private

Verses
 * Acts 11:18 "God has granted repentance that leads to life." (of Cornelius gentiles)

 * James 1 "if we confess our sins he is faithful and just and will purify us from all unrighteousness"
 * 1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blook of Jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin."
