"You cannot have salvation w/o repentance and the evidence of salvation is a changed life (2 Cor 5:17, 2 Pet 3:9). You don't make Jesus "Lord" He is Lord. Salvation recognizes that and humbly submits to Him. Better to confess it with the mouth and bow the knee in this life than the one to come! (Rom 10:9, Act 16:31, Phil 2:10-11). Repentance is not a work, it is part of the salvation God grants. It is from God so we can expect real & significant change in mind, heart, direction, motives, philosophy, life (Acts 11:18, 2 Tim 2:25, Eph. 2:8-10)" (Pastor Steven Pawley, Antioch Bible Baptist Church, Lockport, New York).
