Exposures of Heresies (1873)
THAT MAN IS BORN AGAIN, has undergone a change in his feelings, sentiments, and nature, which is exemplified in his life throughout. The feet that were swift to shed blood are now shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; the hands in which were found deeds of violence are now clean, and lifted up, and stretched forth to God; the tongue that muttered perverseness, that framed deceit, and devised mischief, is now filled with singing, and employed as the pen of a ready writer in extolling God and speaking of his word. In a word, the members which were yielded servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, are now yielded servants to righteousness unto holiness (Rom. vi. 19). |
