...with the true convert, holiness is woven into all his powers, principles, and practice. - Joseph Alleine

A man may as certainly miscarry by his seeming righteousness and supposed graces, as by gross sins; and that is, when a man doth trust in these as his righteousness before God, for the satisfying His justice, appeasing His wrath, procuring His favor, and obtaining his own pardon.

If thy hope be any thing worth, it will purify thee from thy sins.

Christ does not control his subjects by force, but is King of a willing people. They are, through His grace, freely devoted to His service.
