God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

By analogy God is to Christians as the sun is to the moon. As the sun is the exclusive source of light, so God is the sole source of glory; as the moon reflects light, so believers reflect God's glory. Because God's image in man was fractured by the fall, sinful humans refract God's glory more than they reflect it back to Him. But once believers begin to be transformed into the same image at the moment of salvation, they reflect more than they refract. Thus, God's glory is more and more returned to Him just as He transmitted it to his beloved ones. That's how Christians can give to God something that He alone possesses and shares with no one (Isa. 42:8; 48:11).

John MacArthur

A true seeker has come under the convicting power of the Holy Spirit by virtue of a true understanding of the law of God. A true seeker has been broken and contrite in heart by being measured against the law of God and found guilty before God. A true seeker knows that there is no way to earn salvation by works. And a true seeker is so desperate for eternal life as to gladly abandon everything in this life for that greatest of all gifts and willingly submit to the lordship of Jesus Christ. Those are the tests that separate the false seeker from the true seeker. The true seeker can be saved because God alone produces that kind of repentance and submission. The false seeker cannot be saved because it's impossible if you're just coming on your own.
