Chapter 20: Of the Gospel and the Extent of Grace Thereof PARAGRAPH 4 Although the gospel be the only outward means of revealing Christ and saving grace, and is, as such, abundantly sufficient thereunto; yet that men who are dead in trespasses may be born again, quickened or regenerated, there is moreover necessary an effectual insuperable work of the Holy Spirit upon the whole soul, for the producing in them a new spiritual life;8 without which no other means will effect their conversion unto God.9 8 Ps. 110:3; 1 Cor. 2:14; Eph. 1:19–209 John 6:44; 2 Cor. 4:4,6
