Why is understanding our inability to choose Christ important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Recognizing our inability underscores the necessity of divine grace and the sovereignty of God in salvation.

Understanding our inherent inability to choose Christ is vital for grasping the full concept of grace. Ephesians 2:1 teaches that we were 'dead in trespasses and sins,' emphasizing that apart from God's action, we can do nothing good. This recognition leads us to appreciate the depths of God's mercy, as He does not leave us to our own sinful desires. Instead, He draws us to Himself, motivating and enabling us to come to Christ. As highlighted in John 6:44, no man can come to Christ unless the Father draws him. This reliance on God's sovereign grace cultivates humility, worship, and a deeper love for our Savior, who makes our salvation possible.
