Dad, you often put Christian actions such as repentance in the passive voice. Why?

Ted asks about Rod regularly putting Christian actions in the passive voice. Rod talks about the sinners impotence to do some things, what repentance means, the idea that God's command implies that we are capable of doing what is commanded, and, in contrast to what we are tempted to believe, the utter inability of sinners to do so, from the Reformers' perspective.
