You cannot repent on your own. God has to repent you. In other words, God must bring you to repentance. He works repentance in you.

You cannot have faith (trust) in God on your own. God has to create faith in you. God the Holy Spirit does so by His Word.

His preached Word, His written Word, and the visible Word—Baptism. The Lord’s Supper, too, is God’s visible Word whereby He sustains the gift of faith (trust) that He created in you.

You get zero credit for repentance.
You get zero credit for faith.

Repentance is not 99% God and 1% you.

Saving faith is not mere mental assent to the facts.

Saving faith is not reflective faith, where you simply think deeply about the facts of the faith.

Saving faith is a gift God delivers to you whereby you lay hold of His promises; His promise to forgive sins and to sustain your trust in Him.

Salvation is God’s work alone. A salvation He delivers through physical means, through men called by the Church to preach the Word and administer the Sacraments.

Happy the man who considers the poor and the weak.
The Lord will save him in the day of evil,
will guard him, give him life,
make him happy in the land
and will not give him up to the will of his foes.
- Ps 41:1-2

We, like Paul — so far as God’s Law is concerned — are “dead while we live.”

But Paul continues: “Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Rom. 7:24–25).

Our plight requires much more than self-revelation, self-consciousness or self-determination to go a different route. It requires a resurrection. It requires two resurrections, Christ’s and ours. We need more than a healing. We need life’s rescue from the grip of death. We need Christ and His life. We need Jesus speaking to us sinners who are bound and dead in a tomb of sin, the ultimate “curved in on ourselves”: “Lazarus, come out!”

This life, the only true life, is completely oriented outside ourselves: Christ justifies. Christ forgives. Christ frees. Christ lives for me and makes me alive. Christ lives outside Himself for me. Christ empowers and invites me to live outside myself in praise to God and out of love for my neighbor. “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:4–5).
