indwelling life and power enters in. It is impossible to have the quickening life of the Holy Spirit without being aware of it. It is interesting to note the word that is used for the coming of that life. “You hath He quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins” (Eph. 2:1). The same term is used by the obstetrician to describe the first movements of a baby in the mother’s womb. The doctor says that the baby is “quickened.” So it is with the life that is ours in Christ. It must make itself known.
