If you remove the notion of predestination from the interpretation and instead focus on the free will of man, it becomes obvious: we continue to fail God and He continues to give us another chance. He is perfect and we are not.
While there is truth to this statement, I consider that as an excuse for our weakness. He has given us His Spirit and commanded us to be holy even as He is holy. If, and when, we fail it is our fault and our responsibility to seek forgiveness for not relying upon His Spirit. Christians can be led by the Spirit or by their own will. One is good; the other is bad.
