One who hears the truth, applies the truth to his own life, takes immediate and necessary action to live out this truth by confessing and repenting of any and all sin, and accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.   He is now saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.  This radical new, born-again, Spirit-filled life depicted in 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 2:19-21, Ezekial 36:25-29, and Jeremiah 31:31-34 has now been embraced.  He is continuously dying daily to his fleshly desires, so that this new life and new man may be sustained to the honor of God.            He is constantly seeking out more truth and more of the Holy Spirit to walk in and live out this new life of holiness according to the will of God.  He knows that in order to maintain this standard of life; he must remain humble with an obedience of faith from his heart in Jesus Christ for this river of saving grace to strengthen and sustain him. 

            He sets his mind on the things above and will not because he wills not to carry out the lust of his flesh.  He diligently devours the Word of God, memorizes, and uses it for protection against any and all temptation as it is sharper than any two-edged sword.  He leans not on his own understanding, but constantly through unceasing prayer and through faith in Jesus Christ seeks and lives out the will of God.

            He claims and receives God’s promises by simply accepting the wings that God’s grace offers anyone through unwavering and unbroken faith in Jesus Christ.  This grace, when embraced, will manifest our present sanctification resulting in our justification.  His reason and conscience will affirm to him that to claim his justification prior to his sanctification would be to accept God’s grace in vain. 

            He completely understands that salvation is a process, but not as some may define this term.  He knows that at initial salvation, he was saved from the guilt, power, and penalty of sin.  He knows that when the Son set him free; he was totally free indeed (in truth, really, in fact, certainly) from any and all sin.              He does not merely hold on to a “positional freedom” in which he continues in sin, but an actual freedom from sin in Christ.  He experienced this freedom affirmed by his reason and conscience.  He knows that his only hope in maintaining this freedom is to receive God’s grace in its deliverance power through faith by His Holy Spirit.  He knows that sin is the rare exception in this new life.  However, through confession and repentance of any sin subsequent to initial salvation; he is now able to experience God’s grace in its forgiveness power.  He has an attitude of gratitude in his obedience toward God.
