       And God drew each person he saved to himself. It was through his power that people believed and their lives were changed. Each person who believed received the Holy Spirit. Of course, the process started with each individual being convicted of his and her sins, and then convinced of the Truth behind the Gospel, which Paul was proclaiming, through the power of God. The Holy Spirit moves to save people. The writer of Hebrews recorded, “Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts (Hebrews 3:7, 8, ESV). And those who truly become Christians have full conviction, full assurance of the Truth, and stick with it. They are not of those who believe enthusiastically for a short while and then fall away, like Jesus talked about in the Parable of the Sower in Matthew chapter 13. Nor are they those who believe and then stop believing because the things of this world choke out their new beliefs. But these are the people who believe and then produce good works in varying amounts.
