~ Thomas Brooks ~
I am not the man that I was!
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!"
