Murray dismantles the belief that human effort alone can achieve spiritual growth, highlighting the Holy Spirit's role in inner renewal. He contrasts the disciples' pre-Pentecost weaknesses with their post-Pentecost boldness, attributing this change to the Spirit's indwelling presence. 'The presence of Jesus by the Holy Spirit is meant to be unbroken, continual, and forever.' This perspective reframes faith as an intimate, ongoing relationship with Christ, empowered by the Spirit, rather than a set of external practices. | Andrew Murray | Absolute Surrender
