“There is such
a suitableness between the new nature that is wrought and created in believers,
and the duties of the worship of God, that they will not be parted nor kept asunder,
unless it be by the interposition of some disturbing distemper. The new creature
feeds upon them, is strengthened and increased by them, finds sweetness in
them, yea, meets in them with its God and Father; so that it cannot but of
itself, unless made sick by some temptation, delight in them, and desire to be
in the exercise of them.” – John Owen, Of Temptation, in The Works of John
Owen, Volume 6: Temptation and Sin, 122.
