When I write ‘trusting Him to be your deliverer’, I’m referring to an action, as in faithing, the believer opening the soul to His transformation via His indwelling Holy Spirit. While still in the flesh, none of us will be complete, but we are to be righteousified, as in transformed by the renewing of our mind via the work of the Holy Spirit of God in our life bringing LIFE.
So, what happens if you fail to follow Christ’s commandments? What happens if you fail to serve Him with those works He has called on us to do? How can anyone expect salvation if he does not try his best to obey Christ? Why should He reach out to you if you refuse to reach out to Him?
