For if Christ be the rock where on the church is built, whereas he is a living stone, those that are laid and built on him must be lively stones also… they must be like unto Christ himself, partaking of his nature, quickened by his Spirit, so, as it were, to be bone of his bones, and flesh of his flesh… Nor can any be built on him but a living faith, effectual in universal obedience. These things the generality of men like not at all.
—John Owen The Person of Christ - God and Man
