Yet so it is with you perhaps asking for mercy and going on in sin praying to be reconciled to God and yet harboring and indulging your lusts. . . He cannot hear you. Returning to the above incident. Such a statement is a flat contradiction in terms. Salvation and sin are opposites.
Divine salvation is a supernatural work which produces supernatural effects.
It is a miracle of grace which causes the wilderness to blossom as the rose. It is known by its fruits. It is a lie to call a tree good if it bears evil fruit. Justification is evidenced by sanctification. The new birth is made manifest by a new life.
