Gleanings from The Religious Affections (Part 22): Distinguishing Sign Seven: Gracious Affections Accompany a Change of Nature - Weekly Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - blue butterfly

As with all of the previous distinguishing signs of a true work of God, sign seven consists of another effect of the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer, imparting His character to the soul, and giving true spiritual understanding—He transforms our nature.

Pilgrim's Rock Blog Post by Dr. Craig Biehl - Does God Require Evil to Display His Glory? - Yellow Cactus Flower with Prickles
