Quotes (“We can have no power from Christ,” “We Protestants teach and affirm”)

We can have no power from Christ unless we live in a persuasion that we have none of our own. - John Owen We Protestants teach and affirm that there is in the unregenerate no natural power, no strength of freewill, nor any faculty to do ought that is good, but is only led by his corrupt nature to that which is evil till God by His grace works a change by an effectual and unresistable call. -T. VICARS B. D. -- 1625
