Its all the process or work of being born again . He as a Faithfull Creator must do the first work in beginning it .If we have begun with the work of Christ's faith working in us called the hearing of faith. It as it is written will continue to work in us till the last day.
Even Christians do foolish thing like deny Christ in their hearts. Thanks to his great mercy he cannot deny he finished the work, freely giving us new ears to hear .
Galatians 3 King James Version (KJV)O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
