“Yep! The more sensitive you get to sin in your life, the more you know that the Holy Spirit is working within you.”
“I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am.”
― John Newton
Romans 7 all over again.
In his church yard in Olney, England, the composer of this great hymn of faith was laid to rest. On his stone, this inscription:
John Newton, clerk, once an infidel and libertine, a servant of slaves in Africa, was, by the rich mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy.
