27 And I will put my Spirit in you and CAUSE YOU [our cooperation is produced (not just enabled) by God’s operation] TO FOLLOW MY DECREES and be careful to keep my laws. – In the brackets added.

The nations will live in the RECREATED earth (Acts 3:21; Rom.8:19-21; etc.), NOT IN HEAVEN, even the Bride of Christ will come down from heaven (CCC 677), to rule over the Nations (Dan.7:13-27; etc.).

Aquinas said, “God changes the will without forcing it.
But he can change the will from the fact that He himself operates in the will as He does in nature,” De Veritatis 22:9.

ST. AUGUSTINE ON GRACE AND PREDESTINATION

De gratia Christi 25, 26:
"For not only has God given us our ability and helps it, but He even works [brings about] willing and acting in us; not that we do not will or that we do not act, but that without His help we neither will anything good nor do it."
.
De gratia et libero arbitrio 16, 32:
"It is certain that we will when we will; but He brings it about that we will good. . . . It is certain that we act when we act, but He brings it about that we act, PROVIDING MOST EFFECTIVE POWERS TO THE WILL."

Our cooperation with the grace of God is produced (not just enabled) by God’s operation.

Yet the ability to respond is also His gift.

GOD SAVES THE HUMAN RACE AS FOLLOWS

Explaining Justification
The grace of God’s Justification CCCS 1990-1991; Justification is God’s free gift which detaches man from enslavement to sin and reconciles him to God.

Justification is also our acceptance of God’s righteousness. In this gift, faith, hope, charity, and OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WILL are given to us.
.

The Grace of God’s Call (1996-1998)
Justification comes from grace (God’s free and undeserved help) and is given to us to respond to his call.

This call to eternal life is supernatural, coming TOTALLY from God’s decision and surpassing ALL power of human intellect and will. End quote.

KEY TO UNDERSTAND THE WAY GOD SAVES US

APART FROM THE FOLLOWING THREE (IRRESISTIBLE AND IRREVOCABLE) UNDESERVED GOD’S GIFT OF GRACES NO ONE CAN BE SAVED.
.
The salvation of the receivers of the following three undeserved graces is an absolute certainty, it is impossible to lose it. – DE FIDE Dogma Predestination of the elect. + Infallible teachings of the Trent.
.

1. God’s gift the grace of Initial Justification CCCS 1990-1991; which is (among other things) is Recreation (“God doesn’t recreate us to be junk for His Glory”)/Born Again, in this gift, faith, hope, charity, and OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WILL are given to us.
   .
2. .God’s gift the grace of Call (1996-1998) which is coming TOTALLY from God’s decision and surpassing ALL power of human intellect and will.
   .
3. God’s gift the grace of Final Perseverance (Rom.14:4; Phil.1:6; Phil.2:13; De Veritatis 22:9; etc.) which is an INFALLIBLE protection that every receiver die in the state of grace for the GLORY OF GOD. – Irresistible and Irrevocable graces, DE FIDE Dogma. + Infallible teachings of the Trent.
   .

GOD’S LOVE AND JUSTICE DEMANDS TO GIVE THE ABOVE GIFT OF GRACES TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE HELPLESS HUMAN RACE!
.
Every receiver of the above graces of God IRREVOCABLY saved, those who are without the above graces, it is equal as God eternally created them to hell, because whatever they do they CAN NOT be saved, these theological FACTS unable to be challenged or denied!!!
.

In the LIGHT OF THE ABOVE THEOLOGICAL FACTS, can anyone surprised that God’s will is to save EVERYONE and He will save EVERYONE.

Of course there are many other reasons as well that God’s will is to save everyone.
.

God bless you ATraveller and God bless every readers of the CAF.
