“We can no more repent without the Spirit of Christ to awaken the conscience than we can be pardoned without Christ. Christ is the source of every right impulse. He is the only one that can implant in the heart enmity against sin. Every desire for truth and purity, every conviction of our own sinfulness, is an evidence that His Spirit is moving upon our hearts.” -Steps to Christ page 26. -Study compiled and spoken by Sid Nash, May 2015.

Desiring to live by every word that comes from the mouth of Jehovah ( Deut8:3; Matt4:4 )
