REGENERATION and
EFFECTUAL CALLING"Regeneration is a change wrought by the power of the Holy Spirit, in the understanding, will and affections of a sinner; which is the commencement of a new kind of life, and which gives another direction to his judgment, desires, pursuits, and conduct."
The difference between the godly & the ungodly
Allured by the magnetic power of His love!
I am not what I once used to be!
The imperativeness of the new birth
Idling life away like an idiot or a madman!
It is radical, revolutionary, lasting
Oh, how changed a man he is now
All of his views, desires, and pursuits, become changed
Poor, naked, penniless, worthless!
A single word was sufficient to subdue the stoutest heart!
Old Adam put in a better dress
That miracle of Divine grace wrought in the soul
God can take the most sin-soiled soul
The almighty power of God is exerted!
There must be a Divine alteration of disposition
He conquers the stoutest hearts, and cleanses the foulest spiritual leper!
By its own powerful and holy instinct
Something peculiar, distinct, and different
It is radical, revolutionary, lasting!
Powerful, supernatural, irresistible, mighty, overwhelming, constraining!
Study the 'two pictures' together — to see what grace can do for a man!
Godly parents cannot convert their children
I belong to the church; I suppose I am a Christian
Look at that cold creeping worm!
The lamentation of a new-born soul
A lost, miserable and hateful sinner!
His secret power and influence
Such I may have been — but for free and sovereign grace!
Reader! marvel not that you must be born again!
