Now it is the Spirit who evolved matter out of the chaotic state; and it is the Spirit who renews a living body out of the putrefaction into which it had mouldered; and it is the very same agent, even the Spirit of God, who renovates the heart of man, and forms him anew into righteousness and true holiness. It is a doctrine that is mightily nauseated in this our day—forming as it does one of the most offensive peculiarities of the gospel, and perhaps more fitted than any other to revolt into antipathy both the natural and the literary taste of those who hear of it.
Thomas Chalmers — Lectures on the Epistle to the Romans, Vol. II (Edinburgh: T. Constable, 1856), Lecture on Romans viii., Chapter VIII, p. 17
