Furthermore, without the action of believing or faith on our part God can do nothing for us, otherwise, why would our Savior state the following:
"Repent ye and believe the Gospel"

God saves us. We don’t save ourselves.
We can’t do anything without God acting first.

In all seriousness, nothing can happen until God allows it. Faith cannot happen before God interviens in your life.
Concider this: Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Faith cannot come UNTIL you hear the word. This ONLY happens when God puts someone there for you to hear from. So it all comes from God, and not of yourself.
