"'Sinner, unconverted sinner, I warn thee thou canst never cause thyself to be born again, and though the new birth is absolutely necessary, it is absolutely impossible to thee, unless God the Spirit shall do it....' Do what you will, and still at your very best there is a division wide as eternity between you and the regenerate man...The Spirit of God must new make you, yet must be born again. The same power which raised us from the deat; the very same omnipotence, without which angels or worms could not have had a being, must again step forth out of his privy chamber, and do as great a work as it did at the first creation in making us anew in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Iain Murray, The forgotten Spurgeon, p. 87
