“The Christian’s life in all its aspects—intellectual and ethical, devotional and
relational, upsurging in worship and outgoing in witness—is supernatural; only
the Spirit can initiate and sustain it. So apart from him, not only will there be no
lively believers and no lively congregations, there will be no believers and no
congregations at all.”
J. I. Packer
