It is impossible for us, of ourselves, to escape from the pit of sin in which we are sunken.
"The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Romans 8:7
There must be a power working from within,
a new life from above,
before men can be changed from sin to holiness.
The Savior said, "Except a man be born from above," unless he receive a new heart, new desires, purposes, and motives leading to a new life, "he can not see the kingdom of God.
John 3:3
"The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned."
1 Corinthians 2:14
"Marvel not that I said unto thee,
ye must be born again."
John 3:7
