“Without God, man cannot. Without man, God will not.”
-St. Augustine

Augustine here affirms that the salvation process is a mystery unbeknownst to man. Augustine says that man can in no way choose God without God first initiating that choice. Yet he states that without man willingly choosing God, God by no means will initiate the salvation process. This seeming contradiction only supports the idea that the salvation process is an unfathomable meshing of human Free Will and divine Sovereign Choice.
