No matter how one wishes to cut it, or how we state the matter, without good fruit that results from our continuing connection to the Vine, there’s no salvation as per John 15. And that includes the overcoming of sin. So, for example:I think we all can agree that Paul was not at all about a works based saving/righteousness, but yet he also came up with things to say like that is in 2 Corinthians 5:10 also? So was he contradicting his own beliefs?
God Bless.
“To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.” Rom 2:7
“Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of Godare the children of God.” Rom 8:12-14
