# Archibald Alexander on How God is Most Glorified on Earth

“God is not glorified in any transaction upon earth so much as in the conversion of a sinner. There is more joy in heaven at the repentance of one sinner, more than over ninety and nine persons who need no repentance. And every redeemed and renewed soul is a jewel in the mediatorial crown.” — [**Archibald Alexander**](/authors/archibald-alexander), “Sinners Welcome to Come to Jesus Christ” in *Practical Truths* (1857), p. 174
