The Calvinists argue that God's grace is limited only to the elect. In this book it is explained, as understood in the teachings of the Bible, that grace is extended to all men but more grace is given to those who respond in humility under the conviction of the Spirit and the word. Scriptural texts proving this position are: And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; John 16:8-9 KJV But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. James 4:6 KJV He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:7-10 KJV
