"Regeneration implies a Divine energy. Those forms of religion which are satisfied with man as he is may dispense with any very marked activity on God's side in religion. But when the ruin of man is acknowledged, the chief element in religion must be, not man's devotion, but God's salvation. Now, this is what we see in the Bible. There man appears in his sinfulness and helplessness, utterly unfit for heaven, or even for earthy life in its beauty and fruitfulness. And there God is seen as the mighty Deliverer coming to the rescue of His heloless child."—W. F. Adeney
