You Believe Because God Has Empowered You To Believe

No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day. John 6:44

The only reason that you believe that Jesus is Lord is because God attracted you to Him and empowered you to believe in Him.

Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking under the power and influence of the [Holy] Spirit of God can [ever] say, Jesus be cursed! And no one can [really] say, Jesus is [my] Lord, except by and under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:3

God chose you. He foreordained you. He elected you to believe. Jesus Authors and Finishes your faith to believe. The Holy Spirit causes you to abound in Hope, so that you may always have the needed faith to believe. You cannot fail, and you also cannot boast about what you have been freely given or condemn others. Your calling and election is so sure that you can be used by God to serve all, even those who may not confess Jesus and even those who may despitefully use you.

Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] Ephesians 2:9

Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. Romans 8:1
