1 | A Treatise on Nature and Grace (Unabridg | St. Augustine |
St. Augustine begins with a statement of what is to be investigated concerning nature and grace; he shows that nature, as propagated from the flesh of the sinful Adam, being no longer what God made it at first - faultless and sound - requires the aid of grace in order that it may be redeemed from the wrath of God and regulated for the perfection of righteousness. That the penal fault of nature leads to a most righteous retribution, whilst grace itself is not rendered to any deserts of ours, but is given gratuitously; and they who are not delivered by it are justly condemned. |
