  Without repentance, there cannot be salvation, but what is the meaning of repentance?
  
  This idea of repentance is the key to our salvation in Yeshua, as such, one has to have a very clear understanding of what this entails.
  
  So what is repentance to you? How would you define repentance? Is it something that is close to your heart? or do you esteem it lightly?

  Repent means to change your mindset.
  
  It is a on-going process, even up to now

  change of mindset as in
  
  to stop saying I can earn my way to God, to only by the grace of God Through Christ can we enter into His presence
  
  to stop trying to make it by my own strength, to total dependence on His strength
  
  to stop being boss of my life, to total surrender to Him who is faithful and able
  
  there is a saying
  "On the highway of life, God allows U-Turn"

  The only U turn is that of Teshuva back to Yahweh.

  and that's the type of U-turn I am talking about.
  
  when we difted away from Him that He, in his grace allows us to do the U-Turn back to Him.
  
  when we find ourselves drifted away from His path/ways, He in His faithfulness allows us to do the U-Turn and return back to His path/ways.
