Repentance is a good thing - it is surrendering the weight of sin to the cross, releasing a burden too difficult to carry and still survive. It is release - tears of sorrow turning to tears of joy. The promise of a new life in God, the baptism of his Spirit with a new walk. Love, joy, peace... Take this whole world, but give me Jesus - I won't turn back! I won't turn back!
Hebrews 12:2 Looking... unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand ("right hand" = "power") of the throne of God.
When we repent and nail our old sinful nature to the cross, we have the joy of the Holy Ghost before us, with power and authority over sin and death.
