“They who are truly converted are new men, new creatures; new, not only within, but without; they are sanctified throughout, in spirit, soul and body; old things are passed away, all things are become new; they have new hearts, new eyes, new ears, new tongue, new hands, new feet; i.e. a new conversation and practice; they walk in newness of life, and continue to do so to the end of life.” Jonathan Edwards
“Conversion does not involve the abandonment of one’s previous cultural identity, but a turning toward Jesus Christ from within it….As a result, Christianity is from its inception characterised by a cultural pluralism which permits the formation of churches reflecting the human diversity and grants recognition to the insights into the mystery of Christ derived from the experience of faith in him within those various contexts.” David Smith
“Conversion is the greatest change that men can undergo in this world.” Solomon Stoddard
