That even our acceptance of salvation is from God. Canon 7 goes on to say:
If anyone affirms that we can form any right opinion or make any right choice which relates to the salvation of eternal life, as is expedient for us, or that we can be saved, that is, assent to the preaching of the gospel through our natural powers without the illumination and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, who makes all men gladly assent to and believe in the truth, he is led astray by a heretical spirit, and does not understand the voice of God who says in the Gospel, “For apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5), and the word of the Apostle, “Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God” (2 Cor. 3:5).
So you reject that God gave us free will to accept or reject God?
God did not make “yes men’ Or “puppets”; He wants us to love God based on our free will.
Adam and Eve rejected God’s will and sinned.
Yes God’s graces help us in our faith and acceptance of faith in God, but we still have the choice to accept God and His Commandments and His love by our actions or we can reject God and His commandments.
When we understand John 15, we acknowledge that we are the branches that is fed by the vine (Jesus) and if we are not fruitful, then we are pruned. As Jesus told us in John 6:53 “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;” (Eucharist -eternal life).
