Bible Note: Good evening New Creature: In response to your question I would say we are active but only as one responding to the direction of the Lord: For example see the scriptures below the works we do are originated in God. He prepared them that we should walk in them. Our response is to walk in them. Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Here our deliverence from temptation is one God creates for us it is our response to something He has provided for us that we use to escape. 1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Rom 8:13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Rom 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Rom 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; - The Spirit gives life to our mortal Bodies - By the Spirit we put to death the deeds of the flesh. - You are a son of God if you are being led by the Spirit - The spirit interceeds for us. Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; Rom 8:30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. - God causes all thing to work for our good - In Rom 8:29-30 you can see our progress from glory to glory is realy God's work being performed in us. We only respond to Him. If we will not respond to Him then I would say that would be living according to the flesh (see Rom 8:13 above) and regeneration does not take place. |
