God will not save you for what you are, but for what Christ is, and therefore the Holy Ghost asks you to look with faith to Christ on the Cross and with the whole heart believe that there Christ tasted death for you. And when, dear reader, you do so look, you will not only be eternally saved, but born again, that is, the Blood of the Lord Jesus will not only wash away your sins, and His righteousness be made the ground of your justification, but your soul will then be quickened by the power of the Holy Ghost working in you through Jesus Christ.
Maurice Scollard Baldwin — Maurice S. Baldwin, Life in a Look (Montreal: Dawson Brothers, 1879), ch. III, "Regeneration in Its Connection with Christ on the Cross," p. 78
