You will find also that objections urged against God’s sovereignty and man’s helplessness are just different manifestations of human pride – the pride into which Satan tempted Adam; “Ye shall be as gods,” and into which all his offspring have fallen along with him.  Man will not consent to be nothing, that God alone may be all.  And it is curious to observe that the objections urged against these truths are not passages of Scriptures, but human reasonings – man’s inferences and opinions.”  (Horatius Bonar; 1808-1889)
