Luke,
I would like to embr...Dear Fr. Luke,<br /> I would like to embrace the Golden Mean but there is not a true christian that our Lord wants us to be. He chose to create the people in Christ Jesus and through no other way. Faith, not works, is the only way to be included in the elect. God's grace, not human obedience to law, is the creative force behind election. Faith becomes visible in acts and relationships of love. Election in Christ is freedom from an obligation to earn salvation through human effort. It is a call to be free from sin. It is the opposite of freedom to sin. The free life is possible only through the indwelling Spirit. Sin is slavery, not freedom. We have the freedom to conquer, but we may not have the will to keep in step with the spirit. We must constantly give the spirit control of our wills so His fruits will grow in our lives. ( Galatians 5)<br /><br />Your sister in ChristAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
