This discussion has been part of the tension of christian thought since Christ.
How much is choice and how much election.
And nothing happens without Gods involvement. But God has given us the power to choose.
He has given us the choice to follow or ignore it all. You see it in every believer you meet.
They are the sum of their choice and the blessing God has given them based on where they
have reached. It is stunning to see how much the Lord will give if we walk, but not until.
His heart throughout the law and the gospels is do this little thing, and I will shower you with
blessing and help, but you need to take the step. I know this in my own spiritual life, which
I always find amazing, as the Lord as all the power, so why am I involved, but this is His way.
And it is not a huge emphasis, it is like just us saying yes, that was bad, sorry, yep I will do
this etc. Without this we are not involved, which is a massive difference.
