Romans
1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.
1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

To be fair to @oyster67 it is an exchange.
You have to drop all the junk you are holding on to in order to receive Gods Gifts.
In this way we aren't giving God anything, just like YOU say, but we are giving up things, just like oyster said...
So I think you both are right. If that's ok...?

Sentences by other Christians truly interest me. It leaves me with so many questions like, did you actually hear God’s voice? How did God talk to you? I hear those words and wonder if God even hears my prayers because as near as I can tell God has never spoken to me in a voice other than what I know as my own voice, my own thoughts. Others claim God speaks to them, how do they know it’s God? What are they actually hearing? I’m very interested in that conversation.

We surrender our "knowledge" in order to gain Knowledge of God.
We surrender our "wisdom" in order to gain Wisdom from God.
We surrender our "working at righteousness" in order to gain Gods Righteousness.
All the things that make us think we are more than we really are, before God.
There are lots of things that we hold on to that God has better for us. I think that is why the Lord Jesus says we must come to Him as a child.

God speaks to us in many ways. He has testified of his existence through creation itself. He has testified of His love for us by sending His only begotten Son. On a more personal level, He gives us the Comforter when we are born again. To the one who has not fully surrendered mind, body and soul to Him, much of this will not sound sensible. We must come by faith (something you CAN do before you are born again) and we must then live by faith afterwards. If God just came down and shouted in our faces, we would not need to live by faith. Come to Jesus today. He will not disappoint. He loves you, He made you, He has a wonderful plans for you.
Hebrews
11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Did I say he was?
Why can't you be...
Nice to me?

I asked @Adstar a question about his post , nothing mentioned about Calvin , Calvin seems to be brought into so many post , even to those who do not know much of what he taught , so maybe I became a bit short because you seemed to fit this in answering my post...
I am Gods daughter by the way , not through Calvins way , but through my Lord Jesus Christ my Savior...
