repentance is learning

Psychologies definition of learning is in short "a permanent change in the knowledge, behavior, etc."
It is one of the few things that the ENTIRE psychology field agrees upon.
This seems somewhat enlightened in relation to repentance. Also considering the 'nature' of 'the spirit of learning'.

1 John 1:7-8

1. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Sorrow for your sins.
3. Confession (to Lord in prayer or to proper priesthood authority as needed)
4. Abandonment of sin.
5. Restitution

It's not simply about "Enduring to the end" by emptying our lives of sin and evil. We must continue to fill our lives with good and selflessness.
