God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
True repentance is the result of an accurate understanding of the significance and gravity of sin, coupled with an overwhelming desire for the remission of that sin through the person and work of Christ and turning from sin and dead works to faith and obedience.
