However, in Gal 2:16, "the faith of Jesus Christ," neither the words "the" nor "of" are in the Greek text, they have been added by the translator.
Considering the whole counsel of God shows that our propitiation (atonement) is through
our faith in his blood (Ro 3:25).
So God's justice on our guilt is satisfied by Christ's actions on the cross,
by which our sin is then forgiven (justification, and that forgiveness is salvation--Lk 1:77)
through the gift (Php 1:29; 2Pe 1:1, Ac 18:27; Ro 12:3) our faith (Php 1:29; 2Pe 1:1;
Ac 18:27, Ro 12:3) in Christ (Ro 3:25),
by which that atonement is applied to us, as the blood was applied by hyssop
to cleanse the defiled altar on which sin was laid in the sin-bearing sacrifice.
The NT hyssop by which the blood is applied is our faith, which is a gift.
God gets all the glory.
Rebirth by the Holy Spirit brings with it the gift of our faith, through which the atonement of Jesus is applied to us (Ro 3:25), and by which application we are justified (declared "not guilty;" forgiven),
which forgiveness is salvation (Lk 1:77).
Justification/salvation is through the gift of our faith (Ro 3:25) given at rebirth.

The bible uses creation in a language that agrees with your understanding of what part of you is redeemed by the blood and flesh of the Lamb of God. I have given witness on this site to a law that reveals this part of you; the sacrifice of the lamb to redeem the foal of a donkey. When the laws and words of the prophets become evidence within a person's heart, mind and soul, that is the meaning of fulfilled as each generation come and goes, But this selfless act of a path Jesus walked to the Cross remains to this day as a memorial, a witness of the things God set before us in the One whom God said, "This is My Son, in whom I am well pleased; Hear Him!" This became one more evidence of the things Jesus was sent to each of us so that we would not stand before Him empty handed. I wouldn't know to give this witness without the reassurance of the Holy Spirit who does not cease teaching.
Look at 1Co 15 and you will see that Paul's usage there and elsewhere of "flesh and blood" means the natural, sinful, weak, corruptible body, which cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Likewise, his usage of "spiritual" there and everywhere never means non-material, non-physical spirits.
It means the physical body transformed into a glorious, sinless, incorruptible physical body fit to inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Our resurrection spiritual (of the Holy Spirit) bodies are physical just as Jesus' resurrection body is.
And our natural physical bodies are not an impediment to eternal life (Holy Spirit life) in our reborn spirits.

if your going to keep ignoring the rest of John 6 and context. Then you are no better then ken here. And not even worth listening to.
Not to be rude, but your continued focusing on one verse and ignoring the rest of the context is childish.
John 6: 39 says nothing other than whoever God gave jesus, they can not be lost.
That supports eternal security, not that jesus only died for a certain group of people.
Your adding to the word.
