As I said in another comment, if you truly believe that no cooperation is required, or even possible, at our end in response to the grace God offers us, there is nothing more to say. Nowhere does the Bible suggest such an absurd situation.

Satan is so much smarter than you that you cannot insure even a moment of God's Promise TO you. That you insist you can keeps you out of His deliverance for you. Your pride is too easily pricked by an intelligence far superior to yours. That intelligence will feed you excuses beyond your IQ to construct, because the thing the demonic intelligence wants more than anything is to prevent you from casting your will to Jesus. And here is why: when you are born from above, by the Promises of God, you are to become greater than the angels and especially greater than satan and all the fallen angels.

WHEN yopu are born from above, in this life, you are given to Jesus by The Father's Promise to The Son. God does not break His Promises. And if you doubt that those born from above are given to The Son, read the words of Jesus Himself, that no one -and that includes you- can snatch you from God's Hand and Jesus's hand. Think of it as God, from the moment you are born from above, has you cupped tightly in God's hands.

I assure you that if you could get out of God's hands then satan is smart enough to manipulate you to do it. Believing satan can ruin your new birth is a lie satan has floated far too many into oblivion with because they will hesitate to turn their will to believe in Jesus fearing they are not yet able to keep themselves 'good enough' for the Grace.

The Bible clearly makes this reception of the Promise a thing you must do in this lifetime, for today is the day and now is the hour'. If you believe satan's lie that God will take back the Life He promises to your spirit, you will not reach for the life preserver. Reach and take the Grace of God in Christ ... use the force, the force of infinite love aimed squarely at you.

We cannot even come to God without Him drawing us.

In the natural we don’t have the desire to come to Him.

The only reason we do is because the Holy spirit puts it there in our lives.

Beginning to end, God initiates salvation.

Much as is soothes the human ego and pride to think that we can do something to contribute to the work of salvation, we can’t. The price is too high. Without the shedding of blood there is NO forgiveness of sin.

Forgiveness is freely granted and given by the offended person. It CANNOT be earned by the offender, otherwise it is not forgiveness, it’s wages due.

God FORGIVES us our sin. Freely and abundantly.

When we are forgiven, there’s no more sin to pay for with out works, which cannot save because it’s the wrong thing to pay for sin with.
