When it is salvation, you recognize that it is Him.
Before salvation? You just go with the flow of your thought process, never knowing where a notion came from, assuming it is your own thought.

It says the gospel is hidden to them that are lost.. It takes Jesus to save one from a lost condition in order to believe. IF Jesus doesnt save us first, we cant believe.
Yes it does. The lost cant believe the Gospel because its hidden to them that are lost. It says that 100 x out of 100
God's grace power is getting all the negative influence of your flesh silenced over its natural state of enslaving your soul.
It is with our heart (soul) that we believe.
God's grace makes that possible.
That is why we must be saved by grace.
Election is to Salvation. Salvation service is requires salvation first
Those people unlike Job do not have a Hedge of Protection around them so they're most likely fair game.
Since Jesus isn't hiding the Gospel from them then they are able to be saved.
By the Greatest Force for Good in the Universe: Agape Love. Agape Love against which there is no Law because of the nature of that Love.
Now...answer my question instead of deflecting: Can the devil do anything in this world apart from God's will? Or is the devil a co-ruler with Almighty God?
naw you have to determine the voltage by dividing the wattage and and the amps,
In your case your only a 5 watt light bulb running at 2 amps, you only have 2.5 volts running your brain lol, you work it out Using the
Using the v=p|I formula
V=p/Icap V equals cap p /cap
Voltage = Power/ Current)
V = 5 watts/2 Amps
V = 2.5 volts for your tiny pea brain
.Joke everyone has a pea Brain did you know ?
Did I say something different?
Please clarify...
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
Saved "through" faith.
Not just simply grace alone.
Something has to come out of it...
Not by works. (Plurality of human deeds with the intent of winning God's approval)
But, by one work alone. The one work that God requires for His approval.
John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
Disciples usually followed rabbis to find out what works they should do to gain eternal life. That is why Jews approached him to ask what works they should do.
His disciples were asking Jesus for his list of works.
He only gave them One.
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
grace and peace .......

So tell me. How does God "make" someone to believe?
Does He force something in a person to change to make one believe?
By shedding his agape love abroad in his people's hearts? What a novel idea, heh?

Sounds nice...
The greatest force for good is God's Justice.
God's justice even determines where His love will present itself.
