Our salvation is determined by our faith, not by how we live. We do, however (imo), still have the free will to deny Christ after we have received Him and thus give up our salvation.
IMHO, faith has NO value without “Free Will”.
“IMHO, faith has NO value without Free Will”
It has no value when it comes to boasting about how you saved yourself, and persevered of yourself. The value is in confessing that you are utterly empty in and of yourself to save yourself, and thus, while you are valueless, yet God still loved you despite your works and faithlessness.
2Co_3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
