If thy hope be any thing worth, it will purify thee from thy sins.

There is no remedy, but you must either turn or burn.

Satan turned Eve's eye to the apple, Achan's eye to the wedge of gold, Ahab's eye to Naboth's vineyard, and then what work did he make with them!

Converting grace puts God on the throne, and the world at His footstool; Christ in the heart, and the world under Hisfeet.

There is no surer evidence of an unconverted state than to have the things of the world uppermost in our aim, love, and estimation.

Conversion is not a repairing of the old building, but it takes all down, and erects a new structure... The sincere Christian is quite a new fabric, from the foundation to the top-stone. He is a new man, a new creature; all things are become new. Conversion is a deep work, a heart work. It makes a new man in a new world. It extends to the whole man, to the mind, to the members, to the motions of the whole life.

It is one thing to have sin alarmed only by convictions, and another to have it crucified by converting grace. Many, because they have been troubled in conscience for their sins, think well of their case, miserably mistaking conviction for conversion.
