“The nearer Christ comes to a heart, the more it becomes conscious of its guilt; it will then either ask for his mercy and find peace, or else it will turn against Him because it is not yet ready to give up its sinfulness.

Man's reaction to this Divine Presence will be the test: either it will call out all the opposition of egotistic natures, or else galvanize them into a regeneration and a resurrection.” MenGivingHeartTurnsAsksChristDivineReadyGiving UpConsciousTestsMercyGuiltReactionsOppositionResurrectionWheatFinding PeaceRegenerationSinfulnessReady To Give Up Book:Life of Christ Source: Life of Christ
