05/30/23 BIBLICAL BASICS TO SALVATION

God sets the standards.
God provides the means.
God reveals our need and His provision.
God convicts of sin.
God calls us to repentance.

We choose to accept or reject.
God chooses those who believe.
God regenerates, justifies, forgives, cleanses, enlightens, leads, empowers those who believe and follow.

We either continue in the Lord, continue in faith, continue in grace, stand fast, walk in the light, abide in the vine, build ourselves up in the holy faith, keep ourselves in the love of God, separate ourselves from the world and separate ourselves to God,
or
We will fail of grace and fall from grace, we will become entangled again in the pollution of this world, we will be deceived and we will become a slave to sin again.

God gives us growing grace and knowledge as we read, pray and obey, which enables us to make our calling and election sure.
