Concerning William Cowper

Several things struck me about the lecture concerning William Cowper. First of all, it was Cowper's horror of his own sin that convicted him of his reprobabte state. Secondly, it was the words of Scripture that brought him to a knowledge of the truth- who God is and what Christ has done. And thirdly, it wasn't in his own strength that he accepted this truth, but he "received the strength to believe it."
