We do not want to take credit for our evil choices. We sometimes try to blame them on God, just as Adam did when he said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate" {Gen. 3:12}. He tried to blame the fall on God Himself. That's our tendency-take credit for the good, transfer blame for the evil. But Edwards understood that any good deed we do, any righteous choices that we make, are only because God is at work within us.
