"Repentance means turning from as much as you know of your sin to give as much as you know of yourself to as much as you know of your God, and as our knowledge grows at these three points so our practice of repentance has to be enlarged."
—J.I. Packer
Keep in Step with the Spirit, page 87
This means that with growth, we will know more of our sins - pride, selfishness. With time, we will know more of our strengths and weaknesses. We will be able to readily admit and recognize these qualities. With time, we will know more of our God.
