What Does the Word Say?

God gives grace to every Christian, which is his power to overcome sin, Satan and the world, and to live a victorious life for his glory.

We were slaves to sin, but Christ has freed Christians from sin, we are now free to not sin. We have power to obey God.

Christians have died to sin and are alive to Jesus Christ. They cannot and will not continue to live in sin, they will repent and obey.

Holiness is the key to happiness. God makes Christians holy through the process of sanctification; we must say “No” to sin.

Christians are not sinless, but they are different from the moment they are born again. God hates hypocrisy and does not accept all worship.

Christians are called to be holy; that is, to be sanctified. Definitive sanctification is the beginning of this process and refers to the radical change in nature brought about by regeneration.

Adoption is a legal declaration by God, which changes our status, not our nature. But, God only adopts regenerate people, who are different.

As God’s children, Christians can know that their troubles are all for their eternal good. Although Christians are adopted children, Jesus Christ is the unique, eternal Son of God, the only Savior.

Believers are adopted members of God’s family and have all the commensurate privileges and responsibilities; they are to imitate God, glorify God and seek to please God.

God not only saves those who trust in Christ for salvation, he adopts them into his family. This is the apex of privilege for a Christian.
