Lighting the Fire of Faith

I really enjoyed Elder Dale Renlund's analogy on faith during April 2019 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ. Salvation is neither earned nor arbitrary (predestined), but merited based on our faith.  Elder Renlund likened faith to lighting a fire.  God supplies the matches, tinder, kindling, wood and oxygen. All He expects of us is to 1. strike the match, 2. throw more fuel on the fire, 3. avoid extingishing the flames by dousing them with water or snuffing them out with shovels of dirt.

Captain Moroni tells Pahoran in the Book of Mormon the conditions of deliverance are that we "make use of the means the Lord has provided".  Making use of the means the Lord has provided or striking the match is how we are saved by grace, "after all we can do".
