There is no doubt that all men from Adam on have had to repent in order to have a right relationship with God. The importance of repentance is demonstrated by the fact that men of every biblical age preached it.

Salvation
Eternal Life – Ian Thomas
Eternal life is not a peculiar feeling inside! It is not your ultimate destination, to which you will go when you are dead. If you are born again, eternal life is that quality of life that you possess right now.

Transformation vs Reformation – AW Tozer
Religion can reform a person’s life, but it can never transform him. Only the Holy Spirit can transform!

The Moment – Ian Thomas
The moment you are redeemed through the atoning death of Christ upon the cross, you receive the Holy Spirit within your human spirit.

Christianity is a revolutionary principle of life – Ian Thomas
Christian living is not a method or technique; it is an entirely different, revolutionary principle of life.

Presumed Salvation – Charles Spurgeon
If thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.

Christ’s hold of you – Charles Spurgeon
What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you!
– Charles Spurgeon –
Count the Cost of Christianity – Kay Arthur
If you do not plan to live the Christian life totally committed to knowing your God and to walking in obedience to Him, then don’t begin, for this is what Christianity is all about. It is a change of citizenship, a change of governments, a change of allegiance. If you have no intention of letting Christ rule your life, then forget Christianity; it is not for you.

Evidence of Salvation – Charles Spurgeon
Another proof of the conquest of a soul for Christ will be found in a real change of life. If the man does not live differently from what he did before, both at home and abroad, his repentance needs to be repented of and his conversion is a fiction.
