What does the Bible say about God's role in saving souls?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God instigates salvation in the hearts of His people, bringing them to a saving knowledge of Himself.
According to scripture, whenever a soul is saved, it is God who initiates that work in the heart. In John's Gospel, Jesus emphasizes that whosoever drinketh of the living water He provides will never thirst again (John 4:14). This signifies that God actively works in the lives of sinners to draw them to Himself, illuminating their need for redemption. The narrative of Adam and Eve's fall underscores this, showing that it was God who sought them out in their sin, asking 'Where art thou?' (Genesis 3:9). This reveals God's relentless pursuit of humanity, displaying His initiative in the process of salvation.
