There is no other way to obtain eternal life. Conviction of sin, repentance for sin, mourning over sin, and moral reformation of heart and life are not to be looked for prior to faith. These things come as the result of faith. When you look to Christ by faith, you will mourn over your sin because of him, but not until then. The Scriptures lay down no conditions for you to meet before you can trust the Lord Jesus Christ. The commandment of God to you is that you "believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ." And the promise of God to all believers is that they shall "not perish, but have eternal life."
Come, ye weary, heavy laden, bruised and mangled by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better, you will never come at all.
Not the righteous, not the righteous, — sinners Jesus came to call.
