Carlton McLeod explains in this video what the fruits of repentance look like. A repentant heart will exhibit contriteness and penitence along with the fruits of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, and kindness. Such a heart will love the things of God and hate the things that He hates.

James 5:16 (NKJV) - "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."

What are the fruits of repentance? I think honestly the fruits of repentance are very similar to the fruits of the Spirit. Because if He dwells therein, love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, I think they're synonymous. I think, sure, there's penitence and joy in that. There's contrition.

But I really think they're all in the same bowl. They're all part of the same heavenly meal. I think a repentant heart is going to be a loving heart. I think a repentant heart is going to be a joyful heart, a patient heart. All those things I think are wrapped in there together and if He's in us and prompting us, then I think the same fruits of the Spirit that we're promised by just by being Christians, I think that those are the fruit of repentance.
