What does it mean to be quickened by the Spirit?

Being quickened by the Spirit involves a transformative awakening where a person becomes aware of their sinful condition and the holiness of God. This enlightenment leads them to see their need for salvation, thus humbling themselves before God's mercy. As stated in the sermon, without this work of the Spirit, individuals often remain blind to their sin and think themselves righteous by comparing themselves to others. The quickening process is essential for genuine repentance and faith, leading to eternal life (Ephesians 2:1-5).
