[37.] Justification in adults begins from the prevenient grace of God through Jesus Christ, that is, by God's summons men are inclined to turn to their own justification by freely assenting to and co-operating with that same grace. Man can reject grace, but cannot bestir himself without God's grace, etc. Wherefore in the words, Turn to Me and I will turn to you, we are told of our freedom, Session VI, 13th January 1547, Chapter 5.
