“But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.”
Acts 26:20 KJV
Paul, a prisoner, stood before Agrippa, and gave his testimony and preached repentance to the king and the Roman representative Festus. Repentance means turning to God by acknowledging our sin and desiring to change and produce fruit worthy of repentance. Instead, we get stuck with repentance towards condemnation and becoming sin conscious. God calls us to trust Him to produce fruit worthy of repentance by His Holy Spirit. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. That’s the glorious Gospel of grace that we proclaim.
