Hello Honey,
I think my simple perspective might help you. We are told that all good things are from God and that no man can do any good on his own. That includes seeking God as part of this good act that we are incapable of. Yet we are told we should seek God! So what gives?
Well I think it was ray and I could be wrong, but I believe he once gave the analogy that we humans, are like the earth itself. The planet earth I mean. (Dust of the earth right?) Now keep in mind this is an analogy, a metaphor.
So much like the planet earth, we are dark. Dark by nature is the planet, correct? Well when the Sun rolls along it gives the earth light and illuminates all dark places on its surface. Well what happens if you take away that light? The planet goes dark again. It's the same thing for us humans. We are dark on our own, their is no good thing in us but in comes God and voila! We are filled with light BUT God likes to teach us things so that we can grow so sometimes He draws back and we again become dark much like the planet earth because the planet itself produces no light, its ALL from the SUN! So we human likewise relly ENTIRELY on GOD! Only a foolish man would think that his righteous acts are from himself but the wise know it is all God.
So when we do something good, we can't claim it as our own works for that very reason. As Jesus said; Why do you call me good? There is none good save GOD!" So true eh?
Now what about when we do something wrong? Why is it we get blamed for doing something bad if God is the reason we are in this circumstance being tempted by satan and tempted by our own carnalness that HE CREATED US WITH from teh start? Isn't it HIS responsibilty and shouldn't our bad acts be HIS fault? Well see, this si where Him dying for the sins of the world comes into play. Did you die for the sins of the world? Nope! Christ did! SO GOD IS taking responsbility for creating man with a very weak heart and the reason YOU are accountable for when you do something bad is because IN THAT MOMENT that you do this act you soon regret, AT THAT VERY MOMENT,
YOU WANT to do it! God didn't have to FORCE you to do it, YOU VOLUNTEERED! Hence why we are sinning machiens without GODS LIGHT, HIS SPIRIT, HIS GRACE, HIS FAITH! The circumstances you find yourself in have CAUSED You into WANTING to do whats wrong [in God's eyes.] So therefor YOU are accountable but don't worry, He takes responsibility by saving you and all of us, in the end! Because He is growing us into something we canot even begin to imagine! Something amazing!
Does that help? Sorry got long winded >.> LOL
Much love to you in Christ,
Alex
