FAQ # 4
QUESTION 4 : Does the Bible say that we accept him, or does God
choose and accept us?
That’s why the moment you find yourself
truly saved you should rejoice, because unless God had open your understanding
and pulled you to him, you had no chance of being saved. These verses
by Tom R. will show that:

have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth
fruit, and that your fruit should remain..." -John 15:16.

thou choosest, and causeth to approach unto thee, that he may dwell
in thy courts..." -Psalm 65:1,4.
"...He hath chosen us... that
we should be holy and without blame before Him in love... according to...His
will... He hath made us accepted..." -Ephesians 1:4-6.

through sanctification ...and belief...by our gospel, to the obtaining
of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ" -2 Thessalonians 2:13-14.

But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness,
is accepted with Him" -Acts 10:34-35.

him to be a soldier" -2 Timothy 2:4.

that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you
out of darkness..." -1 Peter 2:9.
