Things that accompany Christ !

He died for sin. It's known as the Atonement. The death of Jesus was part of a divine plan to save humanity. The death and resurrection of Jesus is at the very heart of the Christian faith. It's through Jesus's death that people's broken relationship with God is restored.

We are born again. We are set free from sin and death.

He died for the sin of stubbornness and so He saves from that if He died for you!
 
Obadiah said:
God gives us the free will to chose Him or reject Him. Salvation is about what Jesus did, we chose to believe and abide in Him or chose to reject Him and remain unsaved.

It's not a condition of mine, it's in the Bible.

You believe falsely for Jesus saves from sin and unbelief and rejecting Him.

If one doesnt become a believer in Christ, a follower like Jn 10:26-27

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Then Christ didn't die for them, for following Him is a benefit of His Death

You lost me. What is walking in him mean to you?
 
Eternal life /regeneration accompanies Christ,

Rom 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Those for whom Christ died, He having put away their sins and the sin debt, and its wages, conversely are given eternal life as a gift. This is inline with what the Father authorized Him to do and be for them Jn 17:2-3
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

So true to the Gift, they receive at Gods appointed time eternal life experientially, whereby they are regenerated by that life and given eyes to see and come into a Spiritual knowledge of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Know hee is also the gift of Faith,for we cannot know God without Faith, so its given in eternal life.

John Gill on Jn 17:3

And this is life eternal,.... That is, the beginning and pledge of it, the way unto it, and means of it, and what will certainly issue in it:
that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. The knowledge of God here spoken of, is not the knowledge of him by the light of nature, and works of creation; for a man may know God in this sense, and not know him in Christ, nor anything of Christ; yea, may know God and profess him in words, and in works deny him, as the Heathens did; nor is eternal life known hereby, nor connected with it: nor is it such a knowledge of God as is to be obtained by the law of Moses, in which God is represented as a righteous and incensed Being; nor is there in it any discovery of God, as a God of love, grace, and mercy in Christ; nor any revelation of a Mediator, Saviour and Redeemer; nor can it either show, or give to persons eternal life; and yet what is here said of the knowledge of God and Christ, the Jews say of the law (d),

But this is to be understood of an evangelic knowledge of God, as the God and Father of Christ, as the God of all grace, pardoning iniquity, transgression and sin, and of Christ Mediator; not a general, notional, and speculative knowledge; but a practical and experimental one; a knowledge of approbation and appropriation; a fiducial one, whereby a soul believes in Christ, and trusts in his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice for salvation; and which, though imperfect, is progressive.

Accompanying the Death of Christ, vital to His Role as Saviour, and because the sinners He saves ,have a wicked nature by birth Eph 2:2-3

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Minds that are enmity against God, constituting them enemies and unable to please God Rom 8:7-8

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

He gives them a new nature in regeneration, inward sanctification 2 Pet 1:3-4

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

I would love to hear how Jesus saves from unbelief and rejecting Him.

In the Bible, the sin of unbelief is not merely ignorance; rather, it is willfully refusing God’s free gift of forgiveness of sin—including the sin of unbelief.

Faith has more to do with trust and personal acceptance, deliberate acts of one’s will. If you reject Jesus you will not be saved.

Simple,Jesus saves from sins like promised Matt 1:21

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

FYI Unbelief and rejecting Him is sin !

it's a choice we make to accept Him or reject Him. But the truth remains He died for all mankind.

“Choose this day whom you will serve ... but as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).

Thats false, men are spiritually dead to God, nobody has a choice not to be dead. Thats Gods choice alone

Choose this day whom you will serve ... but as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).

This has nothing to do with salvation, this was about Gods redeemed chosen people, it was Gods choice they were His People. Also the choice wasnt for them to serve God, Joshua said they couldn't do that Vs 19

19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the Lord: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

Does that sound like Joshua thought they had freewill ? Learn how to read the context please.
