How are faith and repentance related?

Jason Dohm explains in this video that there must be repentance towards God and faith in Christ. They are distinct but they are inseparable. Repentance is a turning from while faith is a turning to God. There is a very close relationship between the two.

We should think of them as being two sides of the same coin. Repentance is a turning from something while faith is a turning to something. 

Acts 20:20-21 (NKJV) – “ I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

There's a very, very close relationship between faith and repentance. And maybe the best text to go to that relates them and puts them side by side is Acts chapter 20. In Acts chapter 20 verse 21 the Apostle Paul speaks of repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. So I think we should think of these things as really two sides of the same coin. They are distinct, they are different things, but they're not, they're always inseparable, they always go together.

Repentance is a turning from, and faith is a turning to. Repentance toward God, repentance away from dead works and self-love, self-serving, trusting in other things and repentance toward our Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, that's what you're embracing and beginning to hope in and trust in.
