It is true of us, isn’t it? How were you saved? We were reading of it in chapter 1 and chapter 2. It was a work of God. Subjectively, to me, it seemed that I came to the Lord by myself. It seemed to me that once I heard the message, the time came when I saw my wickedness, my sinfulness, and my rebellion against God, and I bowed the knee and called upon his name and believed in Jesus Christ, appealing to him for forgiveness and for salvation. But the reality was, even though it seemed as though it was my decision – and it truly was – yet behind my decision was a work of God in the heart, illuminating my soul, humbling me, bringing me to that point, or else I never would have yielded, I never would have been humbled, I never would have repented. Every word of this verse applies equally to our salvation, as well as the call of God to his apostle. ‘Whereof I [by the gospel] was made [a Christian believer], according to the gift [it was a gift] of the grace [totally undeserved mercy and favour] of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.’ The more I realise that, the more indebted I will be to him and yield myself to his service. It is all from him.
