Salvation is more than just believing the facts of the gospel. It involves being sorry for sin, turning from sin, and trusting in Jesus Christ. The Bible calls this ‘repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.’ … We live in a day of ‘easy believism.’ It is easy to get children to hold up their hands to indicate a decision, but that does not mean they are saved. The Bible says that no one can be saved unless he repents. … Repentance is being sorry enough for your sins to want to stop doing them” (George B. Eager, Winning Children to Christ, 1979).
