We know not the manner in which the Spirit of Christ works in our souls, and dwells in our hearts. The great Inhabitant is invisible—the great Worker is inscrutable; but His residence is manifest, His work is seen. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, nor whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit." But, if no one can tell whence the wind cometh, nor whither it goeth, every one may feel its motion, and hear its sound; and if no one can tell how the Spirit of Christ works in the soul, or dwells in the heart of man, every one may see the effects of His working, and the evidence of His dwelling in the life and temper of believers.
