Psalm 86:15
Both the singers and the
players on instruments say, “All my springs are in you.”
The life God plants in us
develops its own virtues, not the virtues of Adam but of Jesus Christ. Watch
how God will wither up your confidence in natural virtues after sanctification,
and in any power you have, until you learn to draw your life from the reservoir
of the resurrection life of Jesus…. It is the saddest thing to see people in
the service of God depending on that which the grace of God never gave them,
depending on what they have by the accident of heredity… But as we bring every
bit of our bodily life into harmony with the New Life which God has put in us,
He will exhibit in us the virtues that were characteristic of the Lord Jesus.
