“A genuine Calvinist's perspective on salvation centers entirely on God. In the eyes of a true Calvinist, human beings have no capacity to approach God, nor can they even recognize their own sin.

To the true Calvinist, salvation is a work entirely independent of any human involvement; it is solely the work of God, with no contribution from humanity whatsoever.”
