John -
I do not understand your point:
God's Spirit does not need anything. Especially from us who are dust.
Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the LORD Almighty. Zechariah 4:6
When He changes someone, and the best example I can think of is Saul who became Paul, would those who knew Saul / Paul, not have immediately noticed that he was now totally different?; and is it not unreasonable to assume that some may well have asked Saul / Paul, something like 'what happened to you, man - I mean I hardly recognised you. You now sound like those who you were persecuting'?
His Elect may not be a heavyweight like Paul - but once His Elect know 'His Truths' and 'He changes them (like He did Saul / Paul), do not His Elect live very different lives, and people not notice the changes in their lives?
Offcourse God does not need anything from us, as He has, and is everything - however, has He not Commanded His Elect to be 'Living Witnesses'?: and although this is more about 'walking the walk', does it not also include, at times, speaking and saying what His Elect believe, and why they believe it?
I agree that His Elect are not Commanded to seek to save others in this Age of Grace, as He alone is 'The Saviour' - but are His Elect not planting seeds at the Direction of 'His Holy Spirit', here and there?
Is Jesus not His Father's Representative and Spokesman to Mankind, and are not His Elect 'The Body of Christ' Spiritually?; and is Jesus not currently doing His Father's Good Works in this present Age through His Elect, who are 'His Body', where 'His Holy Spirit dwells'?
Are there not Scriptures that confirm that in the next Age, His Elect will be 'Saviours' together with 'The Saviour, Jesus Christ Himself'?; and are not His Elect not now being, both chastened (cleansed), and also being trained to become 'Saviours' in the next Age?
Are not His Elect not Commanded to 'let their Light shine' and not hide it?
There is a big difference between doing what Christian Orthodoxy does, and what His Elect are Commanded to do - and are not His Elect to be a 'peculiar people', who by definition must stand out like a sour thumb? And as His Elect stand out, are some not likely to be curious, and ask why His Elect are so different from those in the world?
John, I have probably misunderstood what you were pointing out.
Warmest Regards.
George
