Charles Spurgeon says, “Sinner, unconverted sinner, I warn thee thou canst never cause thyself to be born again, and though the new birth is absolutely necessary, it is absolutely impossible to thee, unless God the Spirit shall do it….” [vol 3, year 1858, 340]

LANGUAGE UPDATE: “Sinner, unconverted sinner, I warn you that you can never cause yourself to be born again, and though the new birth is absolutely necessary, it is absolutely impossible to you, unless God the Spirit shall do it….”
