“Nothing can happen to a man which ought to be such an occasion of joy, as his conversion. It is a far more important event than being married, or coming of age, or being made a nobleman, or receiving a great fortune. It is the birth of an immortal soul! It is the rescue of a sinner from hell! It is a passage from life to death! It is being made a king and a priest forevermore! It is being provided for, both in time and eternity! It is adoption into the noblest and richest of families, the family of God!” J.C. Ryle
“Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” (Luke 15:10 ESV)
