The most supernatural event that has ever happened may not be the Creation of the world, the destruction of the world by a global flood, or even the resurrection of Christ, but rather the transformation of a heart that was totally selfish and centered on the things of this world, to a heart like God’s—unselfish, giving, living out the principles of heaven’s laws of life.^[71] CSe 70.2

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV CSe 70.3

“Is it not a miracle that we can break from the bondage of Satan? Enmity against Satan is not natural to the human heart; it is implanted by the grace of God. When one who has been controlled by a stubborn, wayward will is set free, and yields himself wholeheartedly to the drawing of God’s heavenly agencies, a miracle is wrought; so also when a man who has been under strong delusion comes to understand moral truth.” Ellen White in God’s Amazing Grace, p. 221 CSe 70.4
