Bible Question (short): Our role vs. God's role |
Question (full): As a relatively new Christian I stll get confused in our role vs. God's role in 1)our salvation 2) our growth in Jesus...particularly the latter. Here Paul seems to me to be talking about character issues (character is mostly our efforts, right?) at the very HEART of his "free gift" emphasis in Romans. The placement is what I find fascinating. Any insights on what Paul is trying to tell us. Is there a nuance/tension being brought out here??? |
