“Many persons become for a time changed in conduct from various motives, who are not changed in heart by the Spirit of God, and the truth believed respecting the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. But such changes are generally temporary, and though they should continue for life, they are of no value in the sight of God. The change of life that the Lord will approve is a change produced by the renovation of the mind, in the understanding, the affections, and the will.”
-Robert Haldane in The Epistle to the Romans
