Secondly, our passing from the state of nature and wrath, into the state of grace, and to be in Christ, is compared in Scripture to such things as are most discernible, and perceptible by their proper marks. 'Tis called a passing from death1 to life, from darkness to light, from being far off, to be near, &c. all which things are known by manifest and certain evidences. The spirit of grace is compared to fire, water, wind, which are known by sensible signs. Conversion is a returning of one who had turned away, and is not returning discernible by certain tokens? The new creature is a good tree, and is not a good tree known by good fruits, Matth. 7. 17, 18.
