“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” | Philippians 2: 13

Everything concerning a sinner’s salvation is of God. Nothing is of us.

We don’t begin the work of salvation, He does. (Philippians 1: 6)
We don’t perform the work of salvation, He does. (Philippians 1: 6)
We don’t finish the work of salvation, He does. (John 19: 30, Hebrews 1: 3)
We don’t call on Him, He calls us. (Luke 5: 32)
We don’t seek Him, He seeks us. (Luke 19: 10)
We don’t find Him, He finds us. (Luke 15: 3-6)
We don’t accept Him, He accepts us. (Ephesians 1: 6)
We don’t produce our own faith to believe on Him, He puts His own faith in us and causes us to believe on Him. (Ephesians 2: 8)
We don’t earn any perfection of our own, He earned it for us. (Titus 3: 5)
It’s not that we loved Him, but that He loved us. (1 John 4: 10)
We don’t keep ourselves in His love, He keeps us there. (1 Peter 1: 3-5)
Salvation is totally of the Lord. (Jonah 2: 9)
