Acts11:18
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also unto the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
They were fully satisfied with the reason St. Peter had given them of his admitting the Gentiles unto Baptism, and fellowship with him. Wisely inferring from what Peter had said, That it was of God, what he had done, who was to be acknowledged in it.
Repentance is the Gift of God, as well as Faith, or any other Grace, 2 Tim 2.25. nor can the greatest guilt affect the heart with true godly sorrow, until God hath quickned it.
It is called Repentance unto life, because God hath appointed that it should precede our entrance into life.
