THE MEANING OF TRUE REPENTANCE

True repentance is an inner change of heart which leads the sinner to turn from evil and return to the God of Israel.

The desires to do good is constantly opposed to the desire to do evil. The desire to do evil is known in Jewish thinking as the “Evil Inclination”. It is called in Hebrew, “Yetzer Hara”. Christians refer to the “evil inclination” as the desires of the flesh.
