"...but God does require what he provides...”"

Your phraseology raises an unusual concern. It sounds suspiciously like that which Pelagian used when he said that God would never command what we could not perform. The beginning of seeking God occurs AFTER we are granted faith...not in order to gain faith. Paul is clear, no one, no one, no one seeks God...before He seeks them. Eph. 2, Rom. 3, Rom 9. Are you a synergist or a monergist?

I am not a Pelagian. I believe that God is the author of Salvation, and that even the faith that is required to receive salvation comes from him. John 1:12-13 .In no way can
I take credit for any part of salvation,”Boasting is excluded.By What Law? Not of Works but of faith”.
