Thus, to be moral, you *must* have God's grace - He must present you with an actual choice. If He decided not to ever do that, you'd be screwed. He *could* damn you against all your intentions if He wanted to because a human has not enough causal power to truly make moral choices ex nihilo. But still, mere grace is not *enough* - you must still choose freely, grounded only in yourself.

Jesus is the narrative center point, who ripples forwards and backwards in time, and who offers all humans again choices that lead towards virtue.
