Reflections for Sunday: Salvation is a process
I’ve missed making my Sunday Reflection posts for a few weeks now; computer problems, being out of town, and such will do that.
This week, I’d like to reflect on the glorious nature of salvation. Pastor John has begun recently an excellent series preaching on the new birth (its nature, effects, etc.). Last night, in his second message on what happens when one is born again, he reminded us of an important truth: that we ought not be see the new birth in an all-or-nothing fashion. Yes, there is a dramatic change that happens when a person is born again, but that person is still a person, still has a sin nature, and cannot be expected to immediately and perfectly demonstrate all the fruits of a spirit-filled life.
