[Dr. Eckleburg]

[Responsibility] for my salvation? I have none because there is nothing I can do to earn my salvation or add to the work of Christ. Leave it to men to think they can improve upon Christ. Now, that doesn't mean I have no responsibility in another sense. Of course I was created and commanded to love and obey God, so it is my responsibility to do that. I will be judged separately on how well that turns out.

AMEN!

And because we have been given faith in Christ, and because we persevere to the end by the grace of God alone, we have confidence that what God has promised through Christ we shall obtain. All for His glory and the welfare of His family.

The issue is where does our love come from? If it comes from God, then your idea of free will goes down. If the love is self-generated, then the Bible goes down.

AMEN!

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" -- 1 Corinthians 3:16

"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." -- John 15:4-5

AMEN! And as always, thanks for the great scriptures! :)
