Unregenerate men… are spiritually dead. There is a necessity of an internal, powerful, effectual work of the Holy Ghost on the souls of men, to deliver them out of this state and condition by regeneration. And this principally respects their wills and affections, as the darkness and blindness before described relates to their minds and understandings. There is a spiritual life whereby men live unto God; to this they are strangers and aliens, and spiritually dead… The recovery and restoration of men by the grace of Christ is called their “quickening,” or the bestowing of a new life upon them.
—John Owen “Discourse on the Holy Spirit.”
