The Spirit Enables Obedience
Commentators emphasize that this verse reveals a core truth of the New Covenant. While the Old Covenant provided commands, the New Covenant provides the divine power to obey. God doesn't just give a new heart (v. 26); He puts His own Spirit within believers to actively 'cause' them to walk in His ways. This sanctification is a work of God's enabling grace, not just human willpower.
