How can Salvation be a will of man?

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

    Its not, but some really hate that doctrine so they make loop holes around it, and others just havent studied enough

    Romans 9:16

    So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

    Because man is born into sin because of the flesh. And most continue on the path of destruction until they see that nothing they can do by their own hands will ever be good enough or satisfy them, thus leaving them longing to gain more but its never enough. This brings man to despair and feeling and realizing that their has to be another way, but knowing they have tryed everything. Now finally they surrender to the Spirit of God for Salvation.

    There are people who sense there is a better way to live.

    There are people who want to be free.

    People are willing to do their best.

    Salvation is for the salvageable.

    An example is how can the sperm that reaches the egg to be fertilized be willing to be born as a child?

    Salvation is from God' grace. We can't save ourselves spiritually unless we repent, confess our sins, and be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Than it doesn't end from there. We need to be obedient to what the scriptures instruct us to do.

    It does appear that our individual destinies have been foreknown, but only after we were brought into existence. But we do not know who goes where. The choice is still ours. Anybody can change but, if one wants to make sure of going to perdition, he can be as bad as he wants.

    Because if you have the will to avoid temptations and repent for your sins and believe full in Jesus Christ Crucified and Resurrected you will be saved.
