I think it's for me with regards to this issue I believe in justification at the point of salvation; I believe in sanctification at the point of salvation.

It will always try us and it was always tempt us and therefore we always need to be submitting our mind, will and emotions to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

I'll be very glad to tell them what my faults and my weaknesses are and the areas that I pray about in my life every day.

If God had not been merciful there would have been no incarnation, no babe in the manger, no man on a cross and no open tomb.
