Willie said it well in post # 33
I believe you will find that it means, "I have realized my previous thinking about Christ was wrong, and I now choose to believe in what He said."
My mind is being renewed to who I am in Christ now....because of Christ being in me..I set my mind on Him and His finished work on my behalf....the new creation in Christ...
.I set my mind on what Paul says...so, "I repent"..ie change my mind to line up with Christ in me..His life..etc...I set my mind on Christ in me.....if that means for example...if I have been slandering a leader in the body of Christ ..The Holy Spirit in me gets grieved....as I am being disrespectful of my brothers/sisters in Christ.....I see that truth ... God grants me repentance ( which is changing of our mind ) ..then I repent and change how I speak about them with respect now.
Colossians 3:1-3 (NASB)
[SUP]1 [/SUP] Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
[SUP]2 [/SUP] Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
[SUP]3 [/SUP] For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Repentance is a God-given response to the nature of Him..
Romans 2:4 (NASB)
[SUP]4 [/SUP] Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
It is God that gives us repentance..He is awesome!
Acts 11:18 (NASB)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life."
