Conversion
"Conversion is a work above man's power. We are 'born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God' (John 1:13). Never think you can convert yourself. If ever you would be savingly converted, you must despair of doing it in your own strength. It is a resurrection from the dead (Ephesians 2:1), a new creation (Galatians 6:15; Ephesians 2:10), a work of absolute omnipotence (Ephesians 1:19). Are not these out of the reach of human power? ... This is a supernatural work ... 'Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but of mercy he saved us' ... 'Of his own will he begat us' (James 1:18). We are chosen and called unto sanctification, not for it (Ephesians 1:4). God finds nothing in man to turn His heart, but enough to turn His stomach; He finds enough to provoke His loathing, but nothing to excite His love. Look back upon yourself, O Christian! Reflect upon your swinish nature, your filthy swill, your once beloved mire (2 Peter 2). Behold your slime and corruption ... How then should holiness and purity love you? ... Who but must needs cry, Grace! Grace! ... What but free grace could move God to love you."

Synopsis
"God's written Word is so important because it shows man the way to heaven. There is much to receive in this life also. The New Life Testament Handbook is a guide for Bible study for teacher and student alike. It is a great help to the teacher in getting lessons ready for class. It is suggested that a New Life Testament be used to study because it is easier to understand than other translations as this was translated so that men, women, boys and girls could read the Word of God themselves and understand what He has written- the Greatest of all Books! There are many fine docrtine books that the student can use who wants to study more, this handbook can be the beginning of the most wonderful experience of knowing and understanding what God has written for man to know."
