Quotable

God can do nothing for us from without, only by what He can put into the heart. Of all that Jesus is and does as High Priest in heaven I cannot have the least experience, but as it is revealed in the heart. The whole work of the Holy Spirit is in the heart. Let us draw nigh with a true heart....

—Andrew Murray, The Andrew Murray Collection No. 2, p. 51

God wants us to know the new birth from above. He wants us to know the meaning of our salvation...to be filled with His spirit...to reflect the glory of the One who has called us into His marvelous light. If we fail in this respect, then it would have been better had we never been born...! How utterly tragic...to know that God intended us to mirror His beautiful light and [instead] to have to confess that we are shattered and useless, reflecting nothing!
