Jesus makes it plain that repentance includes changing our thoughts. mark7:20-21 What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of man, proceed evil thoughts... -HE explains what defiles us comes from within. He gives examples of the most basic evil attitudes and passions that dominate our thinking and behaviour: ... adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man. (mark7:21-23) *

Isaiah states plainly that repentance is changing the way we think. (Isaiah55:7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and HE will have mercy on him... - Here Isaiah pinpoints two things we must forsake to receive GOD's pardon: sinful thoughts and sinful ways. *

To repent we must recognise that some of the pulls of human nature are at work in our minds, influencing or even controlling our behaviour. (proverbs23:7) For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. -A change in the way we think is the most important aspect of real repentance. To do so we need to be transformed by the renewal of our minds (Rom12:2) *
