It is because man has an inadequate conception of sin that he has an
inadequate conception of the grace of God. - Martyn Loyd-Jones,
Ephesians - God's Ultimate Purpose
If God actually stood powerless before the majesty of man's lordy will,
there would be but little use to pray for Him to convert anyone. It
would then be more reasonable for us to direct our petitions to the man
himself. -Loraine Boettner

Of himself, the fallen sinner can no more repent evangelically,
believe in Christ savingly, come to Him effectually, than he can create a
world. ‘With men it is impossible’ [Mk 10:27] rules out of court all
special pleading for the power of man's will. Nothing but a miracle of
grace can lead to the saving of any sinner. - A.W. Pink

There can be no grace when there is no sovereignty. Deny God’s right to
choose whom He will and you deny His right to save whom He will. Deny
His right to save whom He will and you deny that salvation is of grace.
If salvation is made to hinge upon any desert or fitness in man, seen or
foreseen, grace is at an end. -H. Bonar

Those who are quick to censure may be very acute in judgment, but they are as
yet very immature in heart. He who grows in grace remembers that he is
but dust, and he therefore does not expect his fellow Christians to be
anything more; he overlooks ten thousand of their faults, because he
knows his God overlooks twenty thousand in his own case. - Spurgeon
