Kent Priebe states that to walk in victory over sin, the path and way is repentance. He emphasizes that repentance isn't an angry condemnation but a loving invitation from Jesus to draw near, receive forgiveness, and return to Him. He explains repentance as a transformative internal change, a reversal of course back to God, away from Satan's twisting influence. Kent outlines four key aspects of repentance: resisting evil by standing with God, restoring the truth about God in our minds by combating Satan's lies, restoring the truth of who you are by believing what God says about you, and humbling ourselves to embrace God's grace. Kent explains that if we have a sin problem, we have to deal with it or it will grow and multiply, as well as distance us from God and wreck our relationships with others. He encourages embracing God's kindness and forgiveness, turning away from sin, and drawing near to God, who connects with us through Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
