Enquirers and Converts

In the second volume of Spurgeon's Autobiography "The Full Harvest",published by Banner of Truth, page 235, in the chapter entitled "Enquirers and Converts, we read of Spurgeon as he listens to the testimonies of people who have come to Christ at his church. He notes here the same basic themes that these converts testimonies shared. He says,"There are always the same essential marks-death, birth, life, food. Christ in the death, the birth, the life, the food-repentance, faith, joy, the work of the Holy Spirit of God. But it is very sweet to hear the story told in the many different ways in which the converts tell it. The true child of grace is ever the same at heart, although the outward appearance may continually vary".
