However, spiritual life does not come to us haphazardly. The Holy Spirit -- and the life the Holy Spirit brings -- is available to us only in Christ. And He gives this life to us through His Word and through faith in His Word. This means that our spirituality does not come from having spiritual powers or from our spiritual self-development but depends on our faith in Him. Because we are joined to Christ we continually receive our life from Him.
John W. Kleinig: Grace Upon Grace; pp. 10-11
