What is an example of true repentance?

Rob Ventura explains in this video that he knew of a man who had sinned grievously. But instead of continuing to live in sin, this man confessed his heinous sin to him, his wife, and his children. 

He repented because he knew he had sinned against God and against others. He did not try to cover his sin or to make excuses for it. Repentance is a two-fold process: confessing it and forsaking it.

Proverbs 28:13 (NKJV) – “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.”

Yeah, you know, I had a good opportunity to see that in a man who sinned very grievously in recent weeks at our church. And Again, I think of the passage in 2 Corinthians, Paul says, what vehemence, what clearing of yourselves, so that he sinned something very wickedly and confessed it to his wife, confessed it to his children, and then came and confessed it with me. Call me on the phone, it's Saturday night, I'm getting the second sermon done, and time is running out here, and I get the call, Pastor, I need to talk to you, and I'm thinking, okay, brother, let's talk. No, no, I need to come see you, that kind of talk. Okay, comes and sees me with tears in his eyes can barely speak and he confesses his heinous sin to me so again it was this this clearing of himself It was this seeking to repent because he knew he had sinned against God, he knew he had sinned against others, he wasn't covering it.

And again, we know according to the Proverbs, he that covers his sin will not prosper, but he that confesses and forsakes his sin shall find mercy." So what is repentance all about? It's about confessing, if it's real, and forsaking our sin. That's biblical repentance. You
