It must be a command-or else we wouldn't also be admonished to remain faithful, to remain in Christ. Either way it's both a command and a gift, because it's the right thing to do while still impossible to do without grace. It's the first real step back to God for man, in answering His call. The main point is that He must call us; He must take the initiative and even give sufficient grace to answer, but we can still refuse to answer.
Good Day, fhansen
Ok it is a command so believe on the Lord Jesus Christ is a command.
so "And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules."
The effective primary cause of the command to believe is only done when God puts his Spirit in us?
I agree the work that God does in giving putting and removing is a gracious action on his part, and that His grace is the sufficient self defined cause for his doing.
Not sure where the call come in to this passage do believe Gods' call has a direct purpose?
In Him,
Bill
