The Bible says quite a bit about following through after receiving grace.
An example is Ephesians 2:8-10, where the point is made that we are created for good works.
Another is Romans 6:1, about continuing in sin so that "grace may abound".
A third is 2 Corinthians 6:1, about receiving grace in vain.
Yes! All of these verses show our need of sanctification! Strange, how some (even in our church) will twist their meaning.
And of course there is 2nd Peter 1:4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
I rejoice in what Christ did for us, in taking our nature & our sins, in dying in our place! I am especially thankful for God's promises, especially for His presence,
& for "the divine influence on the heart!" God's Spirit working on the heart is what makes it possible for God to change us, to save us & to prepare us to be sealed!
