This is consistent with the grace of God. The gracious God gives the gift of repentance and admits to life those who otherwise would know only death. His is a demand for radical repentance, a complete change of life, which arises from fact that the Christian way is a way of grace. In salvation by grace, it is not enough to have a certain number of good deeds. One must turn away, not from some evil, but from every evil.
Grace is the motivation for repentance, drives repentance.
Repentance is whole-hearted. One must not be committed to some good, but to every good. Wholehearted repentance springs from wholehearted salv Christ has obtained for his people. Luke writes of the struggle between good and evil. God is at work, Satan is at work.
