Luke 3:8

Therefore produce fruit that is worthy of repentance (that is changed lives, turn from sin and seek God and His righteousness). And do not even begin to say to yourselves (as a defense), “We have Abraham for our father (and our heritage assures us salvation) for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.”

When we repent, it can’t be just lip service; our hearts must change, and our lives must reflect that change. We can’t continue to do evil and call it good. That is not repentance. If we love God, we will turn from sin and do that which pleases God. If we love sin, repentance has no meaning to us.
