Repentance and mercy are intimately connected in the biblical narrative, as God's mercy is often extended to those who repent of their sins, as seen in Luke 24:47, where Jesus commands the disciples to preach repentance and forgiveness of sins. The Bible emphasizes that repentance is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith, as expressed in Acts 3:19, where Peter urges the crowd to repent and turn to God, so that their sins may be wiped out.
