We are never going to be perfect. We can’t be perfect.

God knows this and protects us from ourselves.

The problem becomes, just how much sin or choosing sin does it take to maintain our salvation. If we don’t attain salvation by works, we can’t keep it by works.

But if it’s lost by sin, then it’s dependent on OUR effort, not the sustaining grace of God. Then we have reason to boast and God is indebted to us.

And THAT is not happening.
