ACC ~ John 6 v43

MURMURING AGAINST THE DOCTRINE OF GRACE

AUGUSTINE: As if to say, I know why you do not hunger after this bread and so cannot understand it and do not seek it…. “No one can come to me unless the Father who has sent me draws him.” This is the doctrine of grace: none comes unless they are drawn. But whom the Father draws, and whom not, and why he draws one and not another, do not presume to decide if you want to avoid falling into error. Take the doctrine as it is given to you: and, if you are not drawn, pray that you may be. TRACTATES ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 26.2. [1]
