UNDER the pressure of public opinion, or even from motives of self-respect, one may be able to lead an outwardly correct life, and to maintain what the world regards as a high standard of character; but there is in this no basis for a hope of salvation. There must be a transformation of heart and mind, a new creation, before one becomes a member of the household of God. “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God.” “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” “Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me.” The very springs of conduct must be purified. The old must pass away, and all things must become new. Then the evidences of such a conversion will appear in the life.
