"Oh! divine Redeemer, out of whose inexhaustible fullness I would daily draw a rich supply of grace into my needy soul, be pleased to impart unto me an undivided heart; that to please You, may be my greatest happiness, and to promote Your glory my highest honor. Preserve me from false motives, from a double mind, and a divided heart. Keep me entirely to Yourself, and enable me to crucify every lust, which would tempt my heart from You. Enable me by Your grace to walk in one uniform path of holy, childlike obedience. When tempted to turn aside to the right hand or to the left, may I keep steadily Your way, until brought before Your throne, I see Your face, behold Your smile, and fall in ecstasy at Your feet, lost in wonder, love, and praise."

(Thomas Reade, "On the Blessedness of a New Heart")

Hi phil36
Does this mean we are God's workmanship, that as we are God's and His creation, He has provided a way for our salvation and that it is His work in us that "saves" us. What do we do, then?

Salvation is of God.. not me, you or anyone else. It is the Spirit that quikens the heart, not something that you , I or anyone else can do or work!

Your question what can we do?

We repent and confess, then live in obedience to Christ, becoming more and more like Him.
