I am trying to figure out if you believe God is working in you to perfect you. If you believe grace is transformative.
Grace is saving. The Holy Spirit transforms us into the image and likeness of Christ.
That’s a done deal SoothingDave.
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. You really should stop doubting the Holy Spirit as He spoke through the writers of scripture.
