The following sevenfold contrast will demonstrate what conversion is:—
1. "Dead in sins" (Eph 2:1). "Passed from death" (Jhn 5:24).
2. "Condemned" (Jhn 3:18). "Justified" (Rom 5:1).
3. "Lost" (Luk 19:10). "Saved" (Eph 2:8).
4. "Under sin" (Gal 3:22). "Under grace" (Rom 6:14).
5. "Without Christ" (Eph 2:12). "In Christ" (2Cr 12:2).
