Salvation is entirely the work of God through Jesus Christ, who, as the sinless Son of God, bore our sins at the cross and secured eternal life for all who believe. Once received, eternal life is secure, sealed, and irrevocable. However, the abundant life Jesus promised is experienced in phase two of the Christian life—daily fellowship with Him—through humility, obedience, faith, and sacrificial service to others. God has supplied everything necessary for life and godliness, leaving no excuse for spiritual failure. As believers grow toward maturity, they walk by faith, depend on the Spirit, live by the Word, and cultivate a life that glorifies God and edifies others. Disobedience brings God’s discipline and forfeits present and eternal blessings, but a faithful walk overflows with joy, spiritual fruit, and eternal reward.
