To whet your appetite for more, I share the following from Torrance's
book, "The Mediation of Christ": 

"All through the incarnate life and activity of the Lord Jesus we are
shown that 'all of grace' does not mean 'nothing of man', but precisely
the opposite: all of grace means all of man, for the fullness of grace
creatively includes the fullness and completeness of our human response
in the equation.  But this is not something that can be understood
logically, for logically 'all of grace' would mean 'nothing of man',
which may tempt people to apportion the role of Christ and of the
believer by arguing for 'something of grace' and 'something of man',
something done for me by Christ and something I do for myself!  All of
grace means all of man!"

...

"How could the unconditional grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, crucified
and risen again for us, how could 'all of Christ', ever mean a
depreciating of the very humanity he came to save?!"

Peace be with you.
