It is the virtue that goes forth from Christ which leads to genuine repentance. We can no more repent without the Spirit of Christ to awaken our conscience than we can be pardoned without the blood of Christ. Christ is the source of every right impulse. He is the only One who can plant in our hearts a hatred of sin. Every desire you have for truth and purity, every conviction of your own sinfulness, is an evidence that His Spirit is moving upon your heart.
Conviction takes hold upon the mind and heart.
The sinner obtains a sense of the righteousness of God and feels the terror of appearing, in their own guilt and uncleanness, before this Searcher of hearts. Sin is the reason why Christ had to die. God's ten commandments. Because the Father sent Jesus down to save sinners from the penalty of death. The sinner then begins to realize the tremendous love that God the Father has toward him in sending His only-begotten Son to be the substitute for sin's penalty, and that Jesus must love him tremendously also to willingly endure the crucifixion.
