Quotes about Conversion

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

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

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.

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

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.

He receives with all acceptation the Word which convinceth him of any duty that he knew not, or minded not before, or which discovereth any sin that lay hid before.

Conversion turns the bias of the WILL both as to means and end. The intentions of the will are altered. Now the man has new ends and designs. He now intends God above all, and desires and designs nothing in all the world, so much as that Christ may be magnified in him. He counts himself more happy in this than in all that the earth could yield, that he may be serviceable to Christ, and bring Him glory. This is the mark he aims at, that the name of Jesus may be great in the world.
