Hi, Kenny... Good question. What you are talking about is sanctification. I've written on it elsewhere in the forum. God has given the believer the ability to obey. We are to exert our efforts in this area! We are to approach it with what John Owen called "violence," bending our every effort to submit. J. C. Ryle wrote, "Believers are plainly taught to use active personal exertion, and are addressed as responsible for doing energetically what Christ would have them do, and are not told to 'yield themselves' up as passive agents and sit still, but to arise and work. A holy violence, a conflict, a warfare, a fight, a soldier's life, a wrestling, are spoken of as characteristic of the true Christian." Our salvation is a work of God alone; but God has designed our sanctification to involve our specific efforts. Sanctification will be complete at glorification. In Him, Doc |
