I personally believe we are ACTIVE in bringing about "new birth". The new birth or regeneration (Titus 3:5)is the act of God that gives eternal life to the one who BELIEVES in Christ. Before God plays the active role in giving eternal life, we must first play the active role of repentance and believing. |

True enough, but unregenerate man will do neither, neither repent nor believe, solely on his own initiative. Even these initial steps that lead to regeneration can be accomplished solely by the power of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the word of God. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" [Romans 10:17]. See also John 5:24. ...... John 16:8: "He [the Holy Spirit] will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness and of judgment." Our "active role" in salvation does not and cannot exist without the intervention of the work of the Holy Spirit. --Hank | ||||||
