“It presupposes that the church is sunk down in a backslidden state, and a revival consists in the return of the church from her backslidings, and in the conversion of sinners.
1. A revival always includes conviction of sin on the part of the church.
2. Backslidden Christians will be brought to repentance. A revival of God is nothing else than a a new beginning of obedience to God.
3. Christians will have their faith renewed. They will be filled with tender and burning love for souls.
4. A revival breaks the power of the world and of sin over Christians,
5. When churches are thus awakened and reformed, the reformation and salvation of sinners will follow.” Charles Finney
