The implication, as I see it, is that on a level, however small, for however long and at whatever applicable time, we have a measure of freedom to choose, which is not unchangeably cast or hopelessly predetermined by our inheritance of the sin nature. It may never be perceptible to human eyes but is known to God. It's also referred to (negative choice) as the hardening of our hearts, which implies that on some significant level we have the real ability to soften it. That intention... met with and energized by God's spiritual power gives one the ability to gain spiritual insight, faith and grace. God really does the work, but gives man the grace, in the moment, to make a "free" choice. All the individual will know, in the moment, is that they mentally chose one path over another. So, naturally, apart from God, man is spiritually blind, but when the light of illumination is cast... grace is also extended, enabling the individual to make a real choice. If the individual, made in the likeness of God, with the moral prerogatives of God (just like Adam had), turns their heart towards darkness, then the opposite of grace, which is like the gravitational moral pull into the black hole void, will assist with the plummet. This is why there is no "neutral" position or moral standstill. It's like the flow of time... you're moving in a "direction" whether you intend to or not. Or like the band Rush said "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!" A neutral standstill doesn't exist in the equation.

Shameful misuse of 1 Corinthians chapter 4. If we back up only a few verses to chapter 3 verse 14, it says “But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ.” The veil of spiritual blindness is lifted when we believe in Jesus. Don’t put the responsibility onto God.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, That whosoever, (anybody) believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. Faith cometh from hearing, hearing by the word of God. First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. But, only those who believe and receive the free gift are saved. First Timothy 2:4 Who would have all men be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth. The Gospel. First Corinthians 15:1-4 That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, that He was buried and rose again on the third day, according to the scriptures. Israel has been blinded for a time until the fulness of the Gentiles be brought in, Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to all that BELIEVE, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Now that I have believed I am predestined to be raise at the resurrection. John 3:18 Believers can no longer be condemned, unbelievers are condemned already, because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God. First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELEIVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. Not because we are chosen, but because we have believed on His name. Because our sin debt has been paid in full. Romans 11:6 and Romans 4:4-8 AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE, or not at all. No one has ever earned eternal life. But Jesus gives eternal life to all who believe on His name. John 1:12
