Bible Answer: The penalty of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life (Rom 6:23). THRUOGH JESUS CHRIST work of redemption our salvation is complete (Heb 5:9). Our dept was paid by Christ at calvery, His blood has purchased our souls (1 Cor 6:20). We become God's children (Rom 8:15-17). Here's the key, unlike a normal adoption God gives us new birth (John 3;3) along with this comes a new desire for a God's will (Heb 8:10). Christ-like character (Eph 2:10, Gal 2;20) True beleivers indeed may fall frequently and foully, but not totally nor finally from God (Rom 8:35-39); the purpose and power of God (Eph 1:11), the purchase and prayer of Christ (John 17;2,9,11,12,18-26) the promise of the gospel (John 4:14) the everlasting covenant that God has made with them (Heb.10:15-18) ordering in all things and sure, the indwelling of the Spirit which has sealed us until the day of redemption (Eph.1:13,14).
