Metanoia, c'est la repentance : littéralement un changement de pensée qui se traduit par un changement de direction. C'est se détourner du péché pour se tourner vers Dieu — la réponse à laquelle l'évangile appelle avec la foi.

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.
