Question 112 — Of the Cause of Grace

We must now consider the cause of grace; and under this head there are five points of inquiry:

(1) Whether God alone is the efficient cause of grace?

• (2) Whether any disposition towards grace is needed on the part of the recipient, by an act of free-will?
• (3) Whether such a disposition can make grace follow of necessity?
• (4) Whether grace is equal in all?
• (5) Whether anyone may know that he has grace?
