Yes, this is the reality, but so many here think that Grace guarantees them unconditional salvation, just for saying an unbiblical prayer, and that under pressure by a revival handler.

We are saved by grace through faith. The word (and law) is our workbook for sanctification. We aren't saved by sanctification but sanctification is evidence of our salvation. If a person does not want to be sanctified, then he hasn't been saved. It isn't HOW we were saved but what we were saved FOR. It should be our DESIRE to be holy and this comes from the word and the law.

2Co_7:1 Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

God called us to holiness. That doesn't mean were suppose to stop playing cards or give up PG-13 movies. But it does mean something.
