Morality Has Long Been Seen by Many People as Matter

question 29

Essay

Morality has long been seen by many people as matter of achievement: We become more ethical by overcoming immorality and changing ourselves for the better. But St. Augustine (following St. Paul) observes that we have neither sufficient ability to know what is truly moral, nor the power on our own to achieve it; thus, morality is a result of God's grace. Do you agree with St. Augustine? Why or why not?
