CONVERSION 歸正

Conversion is a deep work - a heart-work. It goes throughout the man, throughout the mind, throughout the members, throughout the entire life,

Joseph Alleine

歸正是深入的工作，是心靈的工作。它貫穿全人，貫穿思想，貫穿肢體，貫穿整個生命。

Nature forms us; sin deforms us; school informs us; Christ transforms us.

Anonymous

天性塑造我，罪惡扭曲我，教育告知我，基督重塑我。（這句話一旦翻成中文，英文原有韻味盡失，反正這四個英文字也不難，您還是使用英文的form, deform, inform and transform吧。）

I remember this, that every-thing looked new to me...the fields, the cattle, the trees. I was like a new man in a new world.

Billy Bray

我記得這，對我而言，每一件事物看起來都是新的...田野、牛羊、樹木。我就像在嶄新世界的一個新人。

Conversion is not the smooth, easy-going process some men seem to think it, otherwise man's heart would never have been compared to fallow ground and God's Word to a plough.

John Bunyan

歸信絕非某些人想像的那般平順輕省，否則人的心就不會被比作休耕地，神的道也不會被比作耕犁了。

Regeneration is a spiritual change; conversion is a spiritual motion.

Stephen Charnock

重生是屬靈的改變；歸信是屬靈的轉向。

Conversion is but the first step in the divine life. As long as we live we should more and more be turning from all that is evil and to all that is good.

Tryon Edwards

歸信不過是屬神生命的第一步。只要我們活著，就當越來越遠離一切邪惡，歸向一切良善。

Consideration is the first step towards conversion.

Matthew Henry

「思考」是邁向歸正的第一步。

If no conversion, no salvation.

Matthew Henry

沒有歸正就沒有救贖。

Regeneration is a single act, complete in itself, and never repeated; conversion, as the beginning of holy living, is the commencement of series, constant, endless and progressive.

A. A. Hodge

重生是單一的行為，一次完成不再重複；歸正則是聖潔生活的起點，由此開始一系列、持續不斷、向前邁進的生活。

The almighty power of God in the conversion of a sinner is the most mysterious of all the works of God.

Thomas Hooker

使得罪人歸正的上帝大能，是上帝一切大工中最令人嘖嘖稱奇的奧秘。

I found that I was not only converted, but I was invaded.

Eugenia Price

我發現自己不只是歸正，而且還被（上帝）入侵了。

True conversion gives a man security, but it does not allow him to leave off being watchful.

C. H. Spurgeon

真實的歸正給人安全感，可是那不表示這個人從此不必儆醒度日。

True conversion gives a man strength and holiness, but it never let him boast.

C. H. Spurgeon

真實的歸正帶給人能力、聖潔，但卻從不會讓這個人以此自負自誇。

When the Word of God converts a man, it takes away from him his despair, but it does not take from him his repentance.

C. H. Spurgeon

當神的話語使一個人歸正時，它除去他的絕望，卻不會除去他的悔改之心。
