question is WHO puts US in to Christ so that we can Say we are Saved

1Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been made to drink{regernation} into one Spirit.

regeneration titus 3:5

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.

works eph 2:10
he saved us.
1 cor 1:26-31 chose the weak and foolish of this world
why?
so that no flesh should glory in his presence
when did he do this ?
eph 1:4 chosen us in him before the foundation of the world

Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you{Christians...made very personal} all.

baptism 1 cor 12:13

QUESTION IS HOW DOES HUMANS Seek God

Romans 3:10As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh God.

according to this verse it is immpossible .....by themselves alone...with out assistance cannot get to God ................ luke 18:27

1 cor 2:10 But God Hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

So if the Holy Spirit Has to teach us to learn and Believe in God How does that happen?

Eph 4:4-6 Holy Spirit, Father and Son live in side of us to give us Faith Gal 5 :22-23 from the fruit of Spirit

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justified the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

When one believes 1 cor 15:2-4 this happens
