RENOUNCED THE CONFUSED

"The Christian is a new creature, born and taught from above.and has renounced the confused, distant, uncomfortable notions he/she once formed of God.He/she sees God in Christ, reconciled, a Father, a Savior and a Friend, who has freely forgiven him/her all his/her sins and given him/her the spirit of adoption; he/she is now no longer a servant, much less a stranger, but a son/daughter; and because a son/daughter, an heir already interested in all the promises, admitted to the throne of grace, and assured expectant of eternal glory."

John Newton, Letters of John Newton, 1781
