Augustine argues that both the inception and growth of faith are gifts from God. He candidly acknowledges his earlier misconceptions in some of his minor works prior to becoming bishop, highlighting a pivotal shift in his understanding, largely influenced by the phrase, but what have you that you have not received? This profound statement emphasizes that faith itself is a gift, not a product of our own merits. Augustine asserts that faith is to be regarded alongside other works, which the Apostle Paul affirms cannot precede divine grace. He concludes that it is only through grace that the hardness of our hearts is softened, allowing all who are drawn by the Father to come to Christ, while those not drawn are taught in judgment rather than mercy.]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6876709/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Religion &amp; Spirituality</category><copyright>Copyright Religious Texts and Commentary</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/725d3190b980d99fb11bf5a461855930.jpg</url><title>On The Predestination Of The Saints</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/on-the-predestination-of-the-saints--6876709</link></image><lastBuildDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 09:25:37 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Saint Augustine of Hippo</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Religious Texts and Commentary</itunes:name><itunes:email>spreaker24@adfreesounds.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/725d3190b980d99fb11bf5a461855930.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>In this thought-provoking exploration, the doctrine of predestination and divine grace is robustly defended against the semi-Pelagian viewpoint—those who, while not fully embracing Pelagianism, assert that the initiation of salvation and faith...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this thought-provoking exploration, the doctrine of predestination and divine grace is robustly defended against the semi-Pelagian viewpoint—those who, while not fully embracing Pelagianism, assert that the initiation of salvation and faith originates from human effort.
