Evidences of Genuine Conversion.
By John Bunyan
1. Do they cry out of sin, being burdened with it, as an exceeding bitter thing? 2. Do they fly from it as from the face of a deadly serpent? 3. Do they cry out of the insufficiency of their own righteousness, as to justification in the sight of God? 4. Do they cry out after the Lord Jesus to save them? 5. Are they tender of sinning against Jesus Christ? 6. Are his name, person and undertakings, more precious to them, than is the glory of the world? 7. Do they favor Christ in this world, and do they leave all the world for his sake? And are they willing (God helping them) to run hazards for his name, for the love they bear to him? If these things be so, whether thou seest them or no, these men are coming to Christ.—John Bunyan
