MAN'S PART IN SALVATION
GOD REVEALS AND MAN RESPONDS
GOD SHOWS HIMSELF TO US SO THAT WE MAY BELIEVE
MAN RESPONDS BY:
- OBEYING OR DISOBEYING
- ACCEPTING OR REJECTING
- LOVING OR HATING
- BEING FAITHFUL OR UNFAITHFUL TO
WHAT HE HAS BEEN SHOWN
MAN IS NOT A ROBOT, HE DOES HAVE A CHOICE
SALVATION IS NOT A TRAP
IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, IT IS BECAUSE GOD HAS CHOSEN TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU FIRST
OUR CHOOSING GOD AND REMAIN IN HIM IS EVIDENCE THAT HE HAS CHOSEN US
WE CANNOT BE SAVED UNLESS WE CHOOSE TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR
OUR CHOOSING TO FOLLOW CHRIST IS A NECESSARY STEP IN BECOMING A CHRISTIAN
SALVATION IS A GIFT. GOD MUST OFFER IT FIRST SO THAT WE CAN ACCEPT IT.
WE CANNOT ACCEPT GOD UNLESS HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO US FIRST.

WE NEED TO ASK GOD TO COME INTO OUR HEART
Mat 7:7 Luke 11:9 Luke 11:13
Mark 4:20 John 3:11 John 12:48 Rev 3:20
Joshua 24:15-24
Israel was God's chosen people, yet here they have to choose to serve God. God chooses to reveal himself to certain people but unless they in turn choose to serve him, it remains to be confirmed that they are his people; elect, chosen and predestinated. When we choose to follow God and remain in him, we confirm that we have been chosen of God. We cannot come to God unless God chooses us first and reveals himself to us by opening our eyes, ears and minds. If we never choose to follow God's ways or don't persist in them, it is unlikely he has chosen us.
