The Holy Spirit

I came across this quote by Spurgeon today.  It makes me wonder why I even bother to post my own thoughts here... I should just post quotes like this, from men who have gone much deeper with God than I have even imagined.  There is so much wisdom and power here.  This quote is a great example of that.

"Let us ever remember that Christ on the cross is of no value to us, apart from the Holy Spirit in us.  In vain that blood is flowing, unless the finger of the Spirit applies the blood to our conscience; in vain is that garment of righteousness wrought out, unless the Holy Spirit wraps it around us and arrays us in its costly folds.  The river of life cannot quench our thirst, till the Spirit presents the goblet and lifts it to our lips.  All the things which are in the paradise of God could never be blissful to us, so long as we are dead souls-- and dead we are, until that heavenly wind comes and breathes upon us, that we may live.  We do not hesitate to say that we owe as much to God the Holy Spirit as we do to God the Son."
