I never wanted to follow Jesus, He rescued me!
This reflects Jonathan Edwards and other Puritan’s view that man’s will is bound by sin - humanity is hostile to God & left to ourselves would never seek after God. Grace means God first gives us a new heart that desires to follow Him, subsequently we freely choose to follow. Arminian thought says, “I make a decision to follow Christ, then He saves me.” But this give too much credit to man, and followed to its logical conclusion, means that somehow something that a man does (some good work or decision) makes them acceptable to God. The biblical view of grace is unmerited favor: nothing in man, not his decision nor his good works makes him acceptable, but only the sovereign mercy and favor of God.
Something to say?
