Their deliverance is already credited to them, because it is ironclad. “No one shall snatch them out of My hand.”
This is something that is very difficult for us to give Christ credit for. That He can offer so seemingly much leeway in how a Christian lives and yet wrap that promise up. But, as the psalmist writes, all his days are written in God’s book before one of them comes to be. How to mesh that with the ability to choose implies a degree of interaction between God and man that is beyond our mortal minds’ ability to figure out. We tend to keep our ideas of causation within the time line of this mortal coil and so we are left with the endless Arminian/Calvinist debate. Give God credit for the ability to work causation in a direction we’d call backwards, and the problem vanishes.
What the problem is, is the thinking that someone who struggles with homosexual attraction as temptation makes them a homosexual.
It’s unfair to label them as *homosexual* as if that’s their identity. It’s not. that is a worldly mindset and worldly thinking, not the mind of Christ. It is not freedom, but keeps them in bondage to what people claim and they think, they inherently are.
Anyone who is a believer is a believer who struggles with homosexual temptation. They are not homosexuals first; homosexuals who happen to believe but believers who are tempted.
