I am not the man that I was! – Thomas Brooks

All true holiness is the immediate fruit of genuine union with Christ. Christ is made not only wisdom, righteousness, and redemption but He is also made sanctification to us, 1 Cor. 1:30. He who is in Christ is a new creature. He has . . .
a new head,
a new heart,
a new lip,
a new life,
a new spirit,
new principles,
new ends.
He can truly say, “I am not the man that I was!
I was a lion yet holiness has made me a lamb!
I was a wolf yet holiness has made me a sheep!
I was a raven yet holiness has made me a dove!”
