God gives Christians faith to believe and obey. Man has no ability to respond to God unless our wills are changed through regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
The gospel is not forced on the elect against their wills (Ps. The same God who has ordained all events has ordained the free agency of man in the midst of the course of events He foreordained. We have no hope apart from God’s everlasting forgiveness through grace. A person cannot fully appreciate forgiveness unless he knows who has forgiven him and of what he has been forgiven. The subject of forgiveness cannot be properly approached apart from the Biblical concept of sin, its origins, and its consequences. The “cleansing” flood of God’s forgiveness can be experienced only to the extent a person is utterly overwhelmed with sin and the need to be forgiven. Studies in the Person and Work of Jesus ChristĬommon teaching is expressed in the following words: “Jesus had the capacity to sin, but did not do so.” The point of view that Christ “could” sin is designated by the idea of “peccability,” and the fact that He “could not” sin is expressed by the term “impeccability.” Jesus Christ is impeccable. God doesn’t make bad people into good people instead, He makes dead people alive, grants faith to believe the gospel, and transforms hearts so that we then want to obey Him. Conversion is the beginning of a holy life, and is the first of many conversion experiences throughout the Christian's earthly pilgrimage. Regeneration is an immediate act of God that imparts the principle of life without any participation by men. Salvation is entirely the work of a sovereign and gracious God. How does a person become a true Christian? Many people believe they have to earn good standing with God by their upright moral behavior, including their choice to have faith in God.
