The conversion of the heart that lies at the core of Christian spiritual transformation begins at the cross. It involves meeting God's love in the cross, not simply encountering some judicial solution for the problem of human sin. It must also involve surrender to that love, not simply being warmed by it as a comforting spiritual truth. It must, therefore, involve genuinely experiencing God's love. For only if I have met the heart of God in love can I ever hope that his heart of love might become mine.
