In every sound convert the judgment is brought to approve of the laws and ways of Christ, and subscribe to them as most righteous and reasonable; the desire of the heart is to know the whole mind of Christ; the free and resolved choice of the heart is determined for the ways of Christ, before all the pleasures of sin, and prosperities of the world; it is the daily care of his life to walk with God.

Conversion is not a repairing of the old building, but it takes all down and erects a new structure. It is not the sewing on a patch of holiness; but, with the true convert, holiness is woven into all his powers, principles and practice.

The unsound convert takes Christ by halves. He is all for the salvation of Christ, but is not for sanctification. He is for the privileges, but does not appropriate the person of Christ.

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

Christ does not control his subjects by force, but is King of a willing people. They are, through His grace, freely devoted to His service.

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

The Lord Jesus Christ would have the whole world to know, that though He pardons sin, He will not protect it.
