It was God who saved me, not my "free will"

IT WAS GOD WHO SAVED ME,
NOT MY FREE-WILL

The following is an article taken from the thousands of the many excellent sermons and writings of Charles Hadden Spurgeon, 1834-1892. May it be blessed to the praise and glory of Mr. Spurgeon’s God and mine (W.T.W).
“I suppose there are some persons whose minds naturally incline towards the doctrine of free will. I can only say that mine inclines as naturally toward the doctrines of sovereign grace. Sometimes, when I see some of the worst characters in the street, I feel as if my heart must burst forth in tears of gratitude that God has never let me act as they have done! I have thought if God had left me alone and had not touched me by His grace, what a great sinner I should have been! I should have run to the utmost of sin, dived into the very depths of evil; nor should I have stopped at any vice or folly, if God had not restrained me. I feel that I should have been a very king of sinners if God had let me alone.
I cannot understand the reason why I am saved except upon the ground that God would have it so. I cannot, if I look ever so earnestly, discover any kind of reason in myself why I should be a partaker of Divine grace. I am not at this moment without Christ, but it is only because Christ Jesus would have His will with me, and that will was that I should be with Him where He is and should share His glory.
I can put the crown nowhere but upon the head of Him whose mighty grace has saved me from going down into the pit. Looking back on my past life, I can see that the dawning of it all was of God, of God effectively. I took no torch with which to light the sun, but the sun enlightened me. I did not commence my spiritual life; no, I rather kicked and struggled against the things of the Spirit.
When He drew me, for a time I did not run after Him; there was an unnatural hatred in my soul of everything holy and good. Wooings were lost upon me, warnings, were cast to the wind, thunders were despised; and as for the whispers of His love, they were rejected as being less than nothing and vanity. But, sure I am, I can say now, speaking on behalf of myself; ‘He only is my salvation.’ It was He who turned my heart and brought me down on my knees before Him. I can in very deed say with Toplady and Doddridge, ‘Grace taught my soul to pray and made my eyes o’er flow; grace has kept me to this day and will not let me go.”
Consider the inspired scripture, “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12-13).
