God is the author of Salvation and Jesus is the finisher of our Faith.
Being Redeemed........Is all of God and Christ.
We can do nothing to deserve it or to earn it, and we can nothing to keep it.
They keep it because They provided it to us for FREE.......its "the GIFT of Salvation".
Salvation is a Gift that is a Spiritual Birth........and we can only receive it..........we can't DO IT, and we can't lose it.....as it All of God.
