“An inward principle of self lies at the source of human conduct, turning everything
men do into evil. To save us completely Christ must reverse the bent of our nature;
He must plant a new principle within us so that our subsequent conduct will spring
out of a desire to promote the honor of God and the good of our fellow men. The 
old self-sins must die, and the only instrument by which they can be slain is the
cross.”

–A.W. Tozer, _The Knowledge of the Holy _(New York: HarperCollins, 1961),  p. 31.
