John 5:25
Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
Why not listen for the voice of God if you are dead? Jesus said the dead who hear His voice will live.
People resist God's grace all the time.
Strong atheists are an example of this. Some go so far as to write books as to how they've achieved this resistance so as to lead others to follow.
John chapter 10 helps explain how this happens.
Of course it isn't just atheists but anyone who does not feel the call of Christ. All others not of Christ are examples of those who resist. But is it resistance? Or is it that they do not hear the call of God?
No, they do not.They do not hear .
The problem is that men do not understand they are dead spiritually, they think they are just spiritually sick.. and can choose what medicine will make well or choose to remain sick .
The idea that Gods grace showers over us to make us alive goes against the idea that man is really god in his salvation ...
So in order men understand "How and What the God's Grace is " there should be manifestation of God's Grace" by the Messiah.The problem is that men do not understand they are dead spiritually
"Your doctrine" ?According to your doctrine, how can any of the dead hear the voice of God?
Very true. We learned of this even in the book of Job.Satan can do nothing outside the will of God...
God does NOT give men merely "A CHANCE". Because He is infinitely gracious and merciful, He gives all human beings MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES to repent.
Amen.Actually, He is the one that grants repentance. He does much more than merely "give people an opportunity". He goes beyond that and actually ENSURES that billions of people DO repent and are saved. All for the praise of his glorious grace.

Hebrews 12 is a great chapter!Indeed He is the author AND THE FINISHER OF OUR FAITH
So in order men understand "How and What the God's Grace is " there should be manifestation of God's Grace" by the Messiah.
If men realize and admit that they are spiritually dead, means there are no any capability within them that they can depend on (even positive will ) they surely said to God " Oh God , You are so odd! How can i fulfill Your these hundreds law , if the simplest one for not eating the fruit of the tree of life intentionally i shall not be able to do ?, where as proof is : You drove me out from Eden ".
Hundreds of year God gave men to verify about their "spiritually dead" began from the Torah laws until the cross , men didn't realize any yet, men persistently enthusiastically trying to fulfill the laws ( working in Sabbath day/salvation by work) so manifestation of the God's Grace was necessity for opening the men eyes by force ,even until now there are so many men sure they still have the positive will to obey God by themselves , this is so really sad.
It is untrue that Augustine was Calvinistic.Why is it that Calvinism was literally unheard of before Augustine in the fifth century?

Hi; it says also in Ephesians 2: 'But God, Who is rich in mercy, for the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in sin, hath raised us up together...(etc.)'Paul taught the doctrines of grace... Luther rediscovered them through the teachings of Augustine
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; Phil 1:29
