An imitation of a Frenchman would not make me a Frenchman. I am a German and I would have to be "reborn" to be anything but what I am. And so in the Christian life. I must be born anew.

He terminated my old life when there upon the Cross as Representative He died; and He imparted to me a new life when He arose from the grave.

Lord Byron
