[QUOTE="Greg J., post: 70814235, member: 385249"] An explanation from another direction is: when someone puts their hand in a hot flame, is it best if they felt no pain? What should a loving God do for someone who keeps sticking their hand into the flame of self-sufficiency, when the consequences will prevent that person from being capable of yielding to and relying on God (such as for salvation)? Self-sufficiency is a big lie. No one is self-sufficient. A person has hardly any control at all over themselves or their lives (Luke 12:15-21, Matthew 5:36). More to the point, no one can grant salvation to themselves. [/QUOTE]
