Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.
John OwenChrist did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.
John OwenWhen the Holy Spirit sanctifies believers, he does a complete work in them. He puts into their minds, wills and hearts a gracious, supernatural principle which fills them with a holy desire to live to God. The whole life and being of holiness lies in this. This is the new creation.
