Jonathan edwards puts it thus:


At the same time, Edwards is equally insistent on the saints' reflex activity resulting from regeneration or efficacious grace. He calls on the converted to live the converted life.13 'In efficacious grace,' he explains in his treatise, 'we are not merely passive, nor yet does God do some, and we do the rest. But God does all and we do all. God produces all, and we act all. For that is what he produces: our own acts. God is the only proper author and fountain; we only are the proper actors. We are, in this respect, wholly passive and wholly active.'14

There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
