Many are convinced of the sinfulness of their course and resolve to lead a different life. They profess conversion and join a church. Life is entirely different from what it was before; but there has been no new birth, no new nature. These deluded souls are well pleased with themselves. The position they have taken quiets their consciences, and the world still suits their hearts. Contented with the change in association and profession, they sink decently into the world, only to be awakened when they lift up their eyes in hell.
