Before thou canst know whether thou art elected, thou must believe
in Jesus Christ so really, that by thy faith there shall be life
begotten in thy soul--life from the condemning of the law; life from
the guilt of sin; life over its filth; life also to walk with God in
his Son and ways; the life of love to God the Father, to Jesus
Christ his Son, to his saints, and to his ways, because they are
holy, harmless, and altogether contrary to iniquity.
