FROM OUR NEW BIRTH UNTIL WE ARE
FACE-TO-FACE WITH HIM, SALVATION
IS TOTALLY THE WORK OF GOD!
John 1:11-13 - He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons (children) of God, even to those who believe on His name: who were (are) born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 3:5-8 - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water (our physical birth) and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh (our physical birth); and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again. The wind blows where it listeth (wills), and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell whence (from where) it comes, and whither (where) it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; by which also you are saved , , , , For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures....
Galatians 3:2-3 - This only would I learn of you, Did you received the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?
Ephesians 2:8-10 - For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that He Who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
1 John 3:1-2 - Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons (children) of God: therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now are we the sons (children) of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
A PRAYER THAT SUMS IT ALL UP!
Hebrews 13:20-21 - Now the God of peace, Who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
