God Alone is the One Who Saves

The reason you believe in Christ isn't because you were smart enough to figure out that your only hope was Jesus. It isn't because you willed to believe in Jesus. It is because God chose to be merciful to you. God is sovereign over the souls of men. God chooses those who will be saved. Romans 9:16 is clear: Salvation doesn't depend upon the man who wills and who runs but rather salvation is the sovereign pleasure of God to be merciful to His elect. "It is by His doing that you are in Christ Jesus" 1 Cor 1:30. Jesus said, "No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him." John 6:44
