Featured Humans Do Not Generate Their Own Faith

Is scripture only in my imagination?

 

It seems you are not aware of how atonement works.
A sacrifice is made and those for whom the sacrifice is made are cleansed of their sins by the sacrifice of an unblemished animal.
If Jesus atoned for all humanity, then all humanity is cleansed of their sins.
Barry, is all humanity atoned for by the blood of our perfect lamb, Jesus Christ?

 

Correct. There is no spiritual pulse in a person who is dead in their trespasses and sins. They cannot discern the things of God.

1 Corinthians 2:12-14 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

 

No one will therefore be saved by you claim.
God says we are saved by grace. He tells us twice. Then God says "through faith, which is not of yourself so that no one can boast."
I disagree with you, ITL. You are not God.

 

Only those whom God died for will receive it. Did God die, universally for all...or is it limited to those God has chosen?

I indeed benefit from Jesus atoning sacrifice, which was offered on my behalf 2000 years ago.
How can I make that claim? Because I was chosen and adopted before the foundation of the world.

Ephesians 1:3-14 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

 

Correct. No one can have faith until God gives them faith. This faith to believe comes after God graciously saves us.

Ephesians 2:4-9 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
