| The believing sinner is saved
and justified forever through infinite grace upon the sole
condition of faith, and that our redemption was accomplished
only by the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was made to
be sin and a curse for us, dying in the sinner's place. Also,
that by the new birth, the unregenerate person passes
instantaneously out of spiritual death into spiritual life and
from the old creation into the new. Further, that although the
saved person may grow in grace as he yields his life more fully
to God, he is nevertheless, absolutely complete in Christ and
blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ as soon as he is
saved. |

from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who
sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I
shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them
up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone
who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal
life, and I will raise him up at the last day." John
