Though our salvation is a 100% free gift of God to the soul that would desire it. This free gift is all accessed by the faith of the heart turned towards it.
Just as Christ had to die and be resurrected, we too must die and be resurrected. We are called to by faith, die to our self life and by the faith of the heart turned towards God be raised up to walk in newness of life.
Our salvation begins with the birth of the Divine Nature in us. The growing of the new nature is the growing of the inner man to a new life. This growing is all accomplished by the faith of the heart turned towards God with the desire towards it. And only according to the strength of the desire towards it.
Scripture has separated the willing from the doing, by our own strength, the doing is not in us. But the willing is, or should be. It is this willing desire towards salvation, active and alive, constantly turned towards God, with the desire toward the good and the righteous in all things.
With the faith of the heart constantly turned towards God, is the way forward and growth in Christ. For by Grace are we saved through faith and that not of ourselves it is a gift of God... This faith which all those that are His have receive a measure of. The exercising of this faith towards God, on a moment by moment basis, (or all that is in us), second by second, with the faith of the heart turned towards God is the way of our deaths and resurrection. Though Christ did all, paid all, we in our part do by faith grab unto this free and awesome gift by the faith of the heart turned towards it. For deliverance from the sinful nature and all that would be of darkness and death is what we have been saved from. Which is our old way and manner of life... To a new life wherein righteousness reigns in all we do. But righteousness can not reign in all we do till we desire it. And this is what God is constantly working in our life, our desire towards righteousness in all things and not our own will.
Be blessed all as we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
