First, while hymns can be nice to give praise and glory to God, they are not Scripture. Second, I believe Christ does the good work in me and that I can do nothing without Him (See John 15:5). So no. I stand upon Christ in both Justification and in Sanctification. If salvation did not depend on anything you did, then you must believe that a believer can be an axe murdering rapist and still be saved by just having a belief on Jesus. Surely you do not believe axe murdering rapists who believe on Jesus would be saved, would you?
Please take note that I have talked with Eternal Security Proponents who do believe that a believer can be saved even while they commit the most vile of sins. Let me ask you a question. Was David saved while he committed his sins of adultery and murder? Yes, or no?
I’ve talked with a few that say even a person who worships satan will be saved if they believe in Jesus even if it is against their will they will still go to heaven. It’s truly amazing how far off some people can be even having an extensive knowledge of the scriptures. They know the scriptures but they just don’t understand them.
