Is it you and Jesus.......... or Jesus only ? How much do you think you contribute to your salvation ? 10 %....30 %..... 50% or.... 0 % No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 1 Cor. 2: 7 |

Great question. In my intellect I know it is Jesus only, in my human nature of 'expectations' I know that I often make judgements of myself that indicate that I think I can do something more to improve my salvation state. Of course there is that whole balance thing of being saved by faith and then working out our salvation/faith without works is dead, thing. Jesus alone saved me.

Who saves me? Perhaps Budda I hear he's the man. Actually the japanese have the answer. Jesus Saves. Matt 1:21 says "And she shall bring forth a son and his name shall be called Jesus, for He shall save his people from their sin" Are you a tither or not??

Jesus does the saving but we must submit to the process.

How much did I contribute to my salvation? 1% because no man can come to God unless the Holy Spirit draws him. Jesus paid it all. I was lost in sin, dizzy, perplexed, disgusted, busted, and confused. I cried Lord save me ,that was my only contribution to my salvation. So you can see why I say my contibution was small. I didn't know, I couldn't see, I had no knowledge. Jesus had to step in on behalf of my faint cry and take me in his arms , wash me with his Blood and knocked the blinders off my eyes. Now I am that woman of God that knows where I'm going cause I know where I've been.

Based on predestination (Ephesians 2,3,4), and Grace means "mercy undeserved", my contribution was 0%. This can only be since it was put in me at the foundation of the world to hear His voice the moment I "received"* Him as my Savior. * Note that I use the word "received", as in gift, in that I did nothing for it, and nowhere did I "accept" Him, as if I had a choice, since I was dead already. It is not a play on words, but a quantum difference in meaning, Modernism takes the glory away from Jesus Christ and throws it in the lap of man and everyone intones they "accepted". Biblical truth though says it the other way around: "It is God that "accepts" us, we "receive", in the feminine what he gave on the cross. Excellent question, sir. Robert
