Phillips on predestination

“The Holy Spirit indwells His people, and works all their righteousness in them, blessing them to be instruments of God’s praise; chastening them when disobedient; molding them constantly and continually into the image of Christ Jesus; and all this sanctifying work is God-moved, directed, controlled, and utilized for His own glory. People who have not the Spirit cannot comprehend this gracious work ‘in time’ and ‘in His people’ to the praise of the glory of His grace.”
