MEMOIRS OF ANDREW FULLER
A statement on his conversion: "I was not then aware that any poor sinner had a warrant to believe in Christ for the salvation of his soul, but supposed there must be some kind of qualification to entitle him to do it; yet I was aware I had no qualification. On a review of my resolution at that time, it seems to resemble that of Esther, who went into the king's presence, and at the hazard of her life. Like her, I seemed reduced to extremities, impelled by dire necessity to run all hazards, even though I should perish in the attempt. Yet it was not altogether from a dread of wrath that I fled to this refuge; for I well remember that I felt something attracting in the Saviour. I must - I will - yes, I will trust my soul - my sinful lost soul in his hands. If I perish, I perish. However it was, I was determined to cast myself upon Christ, thinking peradventure he would save my soul; and, if not, I could but be lost. In this way I continued above an hour, weeping and supplicating mercy for the Saviour's sake (my soul hath it still in remembrance, and is humbled in me); and as the eye of the mind was more and more fixed upon him, my guilt and fears were gradually and insensibly removed." - Memoirs, Section I, pp. 5-6.
Fuller's letter to a young friend: ". . . The invitations of the gospel are universal. Though God would never hear the prayers or regard the tears of a sinner, like you, for your own sake; yet he will hear from heaven, his dwelling-place, that petition which is sincerely offered in the name of his Son. Repent of your sin, and you shall find mercy: believe his gospel with all your heart, and you shall live. Plead the worthiness of Christ as the ground of acceptance, to the utter rejection of your own, and God will graciously hear, forgive, and save you...." [Section IV, p. 89. - Jim Duvall]
