We do not at all have and never will have any independent glory in an absolute sense. God's creatures are constituted to manifest His glory, not to create their own. And it is certainly not unsuitable that it should be in His counsels to make all that is good, especially our love for Him. Though God certainly has not forced us to love Him, or rather merely to pretend to do so, nonetheless, He has introduced a myriad of influences into our lives which He has wisely designed in such a way that they are certain to affect us so that we genuinely and voluntarily love our Subjector.
All causal synonyms are of the same basic significance.
They point us to that which occurs or comes into being as the product of the agency which produces it. Effects are determined by causes. It makes no difference whether the occurrence in question is that of a nail being driven into a board or of a man being influenced to make a choice. The existence of causality is not dependent upon one's awareness or acknowledgement of its presence. Influences are always fully causal in nature.
