Ah, but I didn’t ask about participation. I asked about responsibility.Well salvation can be God's sole responsibility, the inevietable destination of every single one of the elect (believers, justified, born again) and still require participation. If you were my Dad, you bought me a car I never drove, wouldn't you be puzzled?
Sanctification is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. You get a big bucket of blue love, joy, peace...in this veil of tears and never use it? What kind of salvation is that? No where does the New Testament are we warned your going to lose salvation if you don't watch out. You are told to walk according to the Spirit (Rom. 8:1- ...I don't know all of them.)
Why does salvation have to see like digging ditches in the rain? It's walking according to the power of the Holy Spirit, not the prince of the power of the air.
Jesus found me, he introduced me to the Holy Spirit, I've never spent a day alone since. I guess I could be more diligent about my spiritually, vut he had never threarened to toss me out of Christ, not that his disappeoval is any picnic.
For instance, I’m responsible for the raising of my children, even though they are participants.
