God doesn't push anyone, that is your opinion. So that story only works for you. God has placed before us life and death through Jesus and God wants us to chose life.
And if WE do the choosing then WE get the glory for doing the choosing.
If he helps us choose then He gets to share in some of our glory.
In your system God gets glory for only making it possible for you to be saved.
You get all the glory for actually connecting yourself to that salvation.
If you cause yourself to believe then you get credit- period.
If God causes you to believe then God gets credit- period.
It is that simple.
God word not mine that those who believe trust in Jesus His Son shall be saved.
Sure. But where does the faith come from. Who causes one to believe?
If one causes himself to believe then he gets the credit for it.
If God causes him to believe then God gets the credit.
What doesn't make sense is for you to say, "I believed and God did not CAUSE me to believe but just LET me believe so I praise God that I believed."
That's utterly ridiculous.
