Cooperation

Do you cooperate by your own ability or is it the Holy Spirit who enables your cooperation?

"Do you cooperate by your own ability or is it the Holy Spirit who enables your cooperation?"

I choose to cooperate. Had I not I would be like those unsaved who by their own choice and free will rejected salvation. God did not reject them.

Because we are human we are wounded by original sin and every hour of every day we are presented with the choice to either cooperate with Grace or with sin. Those who presume grace and deny the ability to sin are at the greatest risk.

CCC 2022 The divine initiative in the work of grace precedes, prepares, and elicits the free response of man.

Peace be with you.
