I like how the apostle Paul begins several of his epistles, Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the WILL OF GOD... (emphasis added). Paul was chosen for salvation and apostleship by the sovereign work of God. It was not of his works since he was blaspheming Christ and persecuting saints while on that road to Damascus. We are saved and kept by the grace and mercy of our heavenly Father. Its feeble mindedness to think that we have any part in our salvation and when we think this we are marginalizing Christs eternal work and His death on the cross. Not only Christs work, but that of the Father who sent His Son, and the Holy Spirit Who draws us to faith in Christ.
