We need to see that our salvation from beginning to end is by grace and through faith. The energy is grace. The channel is faith. Some of us do not realize how important faith is, to that entire process. We walked away from Him in rebellion. It was our own choice. We now return to Him because we have believed. Our faith in Jesus or in other words, our deciding for Christ is the key to kickstarting this whole process. However our deciding for Christ does not stop there. In fact, our sanctification process is only as fast as our willingness to respond in faith. In every area. growth is only as we believe and reach out to what Jesus has offered to us in that area. We yield to the word of God and find out that we are able to manifest change. We need to allow the Lordship of Jesus to continue as in the beginning. (Col 2:6). We believed and were saved. Now we believe and we are being saved.We need not complicate things further by trying to find out where that faith came from. What is important is that we need to believe. Believe with all our heart. Cling to the truth. Rely on it. We need to put our trust in what He has said. Our entire growth depends on that activity within us.
