You can be sure of this: — While you live in this world, you will never know exactly how you were convinced of sin. You will never know precisely how you were quickened by the Holy Spirit, or when. There is no need for us to know those things. In fact, anytime anyone thinks he knows them, he immediately takes his eyes off Christ and begins looking to those things for assurance before God. If you trust Christ, that is enough.—“Dost thou believe on the Son of God?” — “He that believeth on the Son of God hath everlasting life.”
