"What is this conversion that you talk so much about, and say that people must have?" So asked an officer one day of a private who was an earnest, active Christian.
"Sir," was the reply, "this is how it is: the Captain of our salvation cried 'HALT!' Then when we halt His order is 'ABOUT-FACE!'”
Someone has said that "conversion is taking sides with God against self." It is certainly more than theory, or head-knowledge, or talk. It strikes deep. It hits and influences the heart. A reformed man is not a converted man. Conversion is not beginning to amend or trying to be better. It is a great cure done at once, and done forever; and all is effected by the Great Physician.
