This question clarifies what repentance means. In Acts 26, Paul is telling of His encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus. While there is quite a bit of detail in this passage, one thing we learn is what God expects repentance to look like in the lives of men and women.

Acts 26:15-18 - “And I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you; rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me’" -(New American Standard Bible).

God requires that people turn from darkness to light...repentance. God requires that people turn from Satan to God...repentance. Notice also that only after repentance has occurred, "they may receive forgiveness of sins."

Does repentance mean to turn away from Satan and toward God?
