Thus, the gift is entirely undeserved but strongly obliging, unconditioned but not unconditional. It is circular but only by remaking the human agent who responds to the gift. The “obedience of faith” is not instrumental toward acquiring an additional gift, but it is integral to the gift itself, as newly competent agents express in bodily practice their freedom from Sin and slavery to Righteousness. Without this obedience, grace is ineffective and unfulfilled.
