Metanoia ist Umkehr — wörtlich eine Änderung des Denkens, die zur Änderung der Richtung wird. Es ist die Abkehr von der Sünde hin zu Gott, die Antwort, zu der das Evangelium neben dem Glauben ruft.

Metanoia combines “after/change” with “mind”: a transformed way of thinking that reorients the whole life. It is not mainly feeling sorry but turning — away from sin and self-rule, toward God.

John the Baptist and Jesus both began their preaching with the call to repent, “for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” True repentance and faith are two sides of one turning: away from sin, toward Christ.
