We have no right to demand anything beyond their obedient submission to the Savior. Because of our sins it is not possible for us to achieve salvation on our own. Salvation comes by the grace of God. We are saved by grace. . . through faith. Grace is God's part.
Faith is our part.
It is very improtant to realize that the only kind of faith God recognizes is an active faith which involves obedience to his commands. Yet, we cannot receive salvation without meeting the conditions upon which the gift is promised. Yes, there is a call to believe. Those who follow God's plan are not simply asked to change the ideas they believe to be true. Their entire lives are to affirm this change of conviction.
