Irresistable grace – Bruised Reed exerpt

by Richard Sibbes

That grace which is but a persuasive offer, and in our pleasure to receive or refuse, is not that grace which brings us to heaven ; but God’s people feel a powerful work of the Spirit, not only revealing unto us our misery, and deliverance through Christ, but emptying us of ourselves as being redeemed from ourselves, and infusing new life into us, and after strengthening us, and quickening of us when we droop and hang the wing, and never leaving us till perfect conquest.
