Where conversion is genuine, it will prove itself more and more:-
A proud Christian is a contradiction. The child is humble. The convert has such a sense of his own vileness that he readily esteems others better than himself. He is meek. He is not disposed to strive, or cry, or lift up, or cause his voice to be heard in the streets, as is his Master so shall he be. He is not contentious. He is teachable. He is not inflated with self-conceit. He claims not to be wise in things of which he knows nothing. But sits at the feet of teachers and learns. He calls upon the Lord. 'Behold, he prayeth'. It is not more natural for a living child to breathe than it is for a living Christian to pray. He obeys his Father. So all true converts sincerely and heartily do the will of God. 'Lord, what wilt thou have me to do', is his plea. W.S Plumer
