We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one; that the sinner is then born again in such a glorious and transforming manner that old things are passed away and all things become new; insomuch that he things once abhorred are now held most sacred and dear; and that now having had imputed to him the righteousness of the Redeemer and having received the Spirit of Christ, new desires, new aspirations, new interest, and a new respective of life, time and eternity, fills the blood-washed heart so that his desire is now to openly confess and serve the Master, seeking ever those things which are above.
