Why Not Make the Exchange?

It means self-denial, sacrifice, humbling of pride, breaking of human ties, to turn away from the practise of generations and accept truth on the simple word of God. But there is no other right way. An honest man would not seek to pass a counterfeit bill when once assured of its falsity. A wise man would gladly exchange a paste diamond for a genuine if he had the privilege. For every error we hold, God offers priceless truth; for every sin, His own righteousness; for every counterfeit, His own eternally genuine.
