God's Terms of Salvation
"If any man would be saved, he must believe that Jesus Christ is both Lord and God. Again, you must confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, that is, Ruler and Master. You must cheerfully become His disciple, follower, and servant. You must confess, 'He is my Master; He is my Lord. I intend to be a soldier under Him. He shall be to me Leader and Commander; God has made Him such, and I accept Him as such.' You are vocally to own Jesus; you are definitely and distinctly to say with your tongue, your mouth, your lips, that he is your Lord and Saviour.... With my mouth I do again confess the Lord Jesus, for I believe Him to be very God of very God, my Master, My All."
—C.H. Spurgeon
"Your lying professions mock Him.... If you have never believed in Him and repented of sin, and yielded obedience to His command, if you do not own Him in your daily life to be both Lord and King, I charge you lay down the profession which is so dishonouring to Him.

A person who does not have that desire has no legitimate claim on salvation."
—John F. MacArthur, Jr.
"The baby sucks, instinctively; and the born-again person also feels a hunger for spiritual food—first the milk and then the meat of God's revealed Word (1 Peter 2:2; Hebrews 5:12-14; 1 Corinthians 3:2). He listens to the Word preached and taught and discussed; he reads it in his Bible; he asks questions about it; he meditates on it, memorizes it, chews the cud on it, labours to squeeze all the goodness out of it. 'Oh, how I love Thy law! It is my meditation all the day.... How sweet are Thy words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!' (Psalm 119:97,103). Constantly to crave for God's Word and to want to go deeper into it is thus a second sign of being regenerate...
