If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
J. C. RyleWe are all so sunk in sin, and so wedded to the world, that we would never turn to God and seek salvation, unless He first called us by His grace. Without a divine call, no one can be saved.
J. C. RyleJust as the first sign of life in an infant when born into the world is the act of breathing, so the first act of men and women when they are born again is praying.
