12/28/24 CHRIST IS OUR LIFE
If you do not believe that God does not deliver believers from all sin in this present evil world, it is either because you believe He is unwilling, or He is unable, or He doesn't care.
(by the way, the Bible says clearly that God does cleanse faithful believers from all sin, iniquity, every spot and wrinkle, that He makes us blameless and enables us to walk in holiness).
This does not mean believers cannot or will not (necessarily) fail, err, sin, or turn from God.
Salvation is newness of life, received by faith in Christ. Life is dynamic, growing, and productive. When the faith relationship ends, the life ends.
We not only need Christ to enter into spiritual life, we need Christ continually in order to remain spiritually alive.
God never fails at doing the Divine part of salvation, and He does not fail to give us everything necessary for life and godliness. However, God does not do the things for us, which He requires us to do. God is not a puppet master and we are not computer programmed automatons.
We enter salvation by an act of faith.
We continue in salvation by a walk of faith.
We enter into His eternal presence by finishing our course by being faithful to God.
