Converting grace puts God on the throne, and the world at His footstool; Christ in the heart, and the world under Hisfeet.
Joseph AlleineDo not stand still disputing about your election - but set to repenting and believing. Cry to God for converting grace. Revealed things belong to you; in these busy yourself. Whatever God's purposes may be, I am sure His promises are true. Whatever the decrees of heaven may be, I am sure if I repent and believe I shall be saved.
Joseph AlleineThere is no surer evidence of an unconverted state than to have the things of the world uppermost in our aim, love, and estimation.
Joseph AlleineIt 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.
