Here is a quote from Pastor Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892):
"'What?' you say. 'Can God make me become a Christian?' I tell you, yes, for herein lies the power of the gospel. It does not ask your consent, but it gets it. It does not say, 'Will you have it?' but it makes you willing in the day of God's power....The gospel wants not your consent, it gets it. It knocks the enmity out of your heart. He makes your will turn around, and then you cry, 'Lord, save me or I perish.' 'Ah,' might heaven say, 'I knew I would make you say that!'"
