But what more shall I say? I think that I have taught sufficiently, or rather more than sufficiently, that both the beginning of faith in the Lord, and continuance in the Lord unto the end, are God's gifts. -- St. Augustine, On Rebuke and Grace (II:66)

This is Augustine at his best. I love reading his Confessions. Even our good works and fruits of faith are God's gifts.
Matthew,
I love the Confessions too. He's really astonishing in his consistent holding forth of grace.
