Saved...to make one safe and protected from the judgement of God. It's by now power on our own, not because we deserve it, it's only through Christ are we perfected. Grace= unmerited favor. Transgression=deliberate & willful in rebellion against God. We have 2 natures at war. Spriritual nature & Flesh nature. One is to please God and server others. The other is "all about me and my desires."
