Faith Changes Us
The only thing we need to do in order to be saved from the penalty of our sins is to exercise faith in Christ. The faith we exercise for our salvation is the same faith that empowers us to live for God; Faith in Christ will always produce life in Christ. For our exercise of faith is an invitation for the Holy Spirit to take up residence in our lives, where He will empower us to live for Christ by producing in us a growing love for Christ.
