GOD saves sinners.
Salvation is the work of God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are in completely unity in this great work. The Father has given to the Son a group of people who WILL come to the Son. The Son died to reconcile those the Father has Given Him and will not lose a single one. The Holy Spirit draws to Christ those the Father gives the Son; those of whom the Son will not lose a single one. Read John 6. It’s all contained in a single chapter of the Bible.
God SAVES sinners.
Salvation is the work God, from beginning to end. The salvation of sinners is the Father’s plan, Christ died and suffered their just punishment, and the Holy Spirit moves upon the hearts of sinners to draw them to the Cross.
God saves SINNERS.
Those whom God saves are born sinners, dead in their trespasses in sin, without a hope of salvation unless God begins a work in their hearts. Read Romans, chapter 3 and Ephesians, Chapter 2.
I have not included the text of the above passages of scripture so that you might be encouraged to read them and discover for yourself the truths therein, especially John, chapter 6 in which the unity of the Godhead in the salvation of those the ‘Father gives the Son’. That group is central to the message, as well as begs the question: WHO are those that the Father gives the Son?
The Battle Cry 
Good afternoon. May we always be mindful that we are bought with a price. That we were on our way to eternal damnation until the Holy Spirit drew us to that moment that we first believed upon Jesus. It still fascinates me; how the Lord broke through all of the pride and confusion that I was drowning in and revealed his truth. Thanks for causing reflection.
Blessings always in Jesus name.

Amen and amen, Tim!
Savation belongs to the Lord! Jonah 2:9. We like to think that our decision for Christ determined our eternal destiny, but it is God by the Holy Spirit, who, as you said, drew us irresistably to the Cross.
