He who does not know that God has promised to “work in us” in a way of grace what he requires of us in a way of duty, has either never read the Bible or does not believe it, either never prayed or never taken notice of what he prayed for. He is a heathen and has nothing of the Christian in him, who does not pray that God would work in him what he requires of him. This we know: that what God commands and prescribes to us, what he encourages us to do, we ought with all diligence and earnestness [as we value our souls and their eternal welfare] to attend to and comply withal.
—John Owen, “Discourse on the Holy Spirit”
