As iron cast into fire loses its rust and becomes glowing white, so he who turns completely to God is stripped of his sluggishness and changed into a new man.
— Thomas a Kempis
Even like as St. Paul was converted, just so are all others converted; for we all resist God, but the Holy Ghost draws the will of mankind, when he pleases, through preaching.
— Martin Luther
The great # conversion called for by Jesus is to move from belonging to the world to belonging to God.
