It is though God that we are capable of repenting; that we even have faith; and that we do good works.

I agree with this, but agreeing with it won't get me to heaven.

Unless one understands the sovereignty of God it is impossible to fully understand repentance, faith and charity.

You don't have to understand it. You only have to practice it.
