He that seeketh shall surely find. To him that knocks it surely shall be opened. On this you may depend. Such is the gospel. And the gospel is the promise of God that can never fail.
Grace is always first.
The coming of the sinner is the fruit of God's drawing. And this is a matter of experience of every sinner that is saved by grace. He that comes to Jesus experiences in this act of coming that drawing of the marvelous and efficacious grace of God, and that, too, in such a way that the latter is first and is the cause of the former. One that is saved will surely acknowledge this. Never will a regenerated child of God present the matter of his salvation as having had its initiative in him.
