In confessing their conversion, many evangelicals use phrases such as "I gave my life to Christ," "I gave it all to God," "I prayed to receive Christ," etc. Upon reflecting on these terms, it seems that the focus is heavy on the human response side and rarely, will you hear phrases such as "God did it all" "Christ saved me," "God gave me a new heart" etc.
Ephesians in it's opening chapters is heavy on God's predestination and election of us unto salvation, so my thoughts are that many evangelical churches must not spending a whole lot of time on preaching from Ephesians, otherwise I can't see how they would be giving so much credit to their "decision" for Christ.
What think ye?
