Because of man's depravity, blindness, and rebellious
nature, salvation is possible only as a gift without merit BY grace
alone is efficacious to the saving of the soul Eph. 2:8,9
This
gift of salvation includes all things necessary as evidence that one
has trusted Christ, the faith necessary to trust Christ and the
repentant heart necessary to turn from sin to Christ are both gifts from God to His elect , those he has chosen out of the world.
Acts 13:48; Eph, 2:8,9; Phil. 1:29; Rom. 2:4; Acts 5:31; 11:18; 14:27; 2 Tim. 2:25
A life of obedience to the law -- that which God demands has been performed by the doing and the dying of Jesus ChristHis
sinless life and His obedient death. Sinners are enabled to present the
righteousness of Christ to God by faith. Therefore, total forgiveness
is granted by God based on the substitutional death of Christ on behalf
of the believer, thereby imputing to the believer the righteousness of
God in Jesus Christ.
All TRUE believers acknowledge their
sinful condition and trust in the death of Christ to pay the penalty
for sin past, present, and future (1 Jn. 1:9). To acknowledge sin as
sin is a confession that characterizes believers. The responsibility of
believers is to flee all unrighteousness
1 Thes. 1:9 1 Tim. 6:11; 2 Tim. 2:22 having an appreciation for the cleansing ministry of Jesus Christ 1 Jn. 2:1,2
A
Christian, then, is the result of the creative MIRACLE which Scripture
calls regeneration a new birth. In order to be saved, sinners must be
born again Jn. 3:3,5; Eph. 2:1,5; 1 Jn. 5:1 which is the new creation
in Christ Jesus
2 Cor. 5:17; Col 2:13; Jn. 3:8 It occurs the
instant a person believes on and receives the Lord Jesus Christ as
Savior and Lord BY THE GRACE OF GOD
Acts 16:30,31 Jn. 5:24 In
the new birth, the one dead in trespasses and in sins is made a
partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift
of God.
If you feel the Spirit of God calling you, rejoice for he has chosen you and will reveal himself to you!
