Joseph Alleine
In every sound convert the judgment is brought to approve of the laws and ways of Christ, and subscribe to them as most righteous and reasonable; the desire of the heart is to know the whole mind of Christ; the free and resolved choice of the heart is determined for the ways of Christ, before all the pleasures of sin, and prosperities of the world; it is the daily care of his life to walk with God.

Joseph Alleine

Joseph Alleine
The sound convert takes a whole Christ, and takes Him for all intents and purposes, without exceptions, without limitations, without reserves.

He saith with Paul, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"

Joseph Alleine
