If you are His puppet as you say, why is it that once you were irresistibly drawn to salvation and made holy, why is it that now you still commit acts of sin, after all He did command the saints to be holy and to obey His commands, so why does the puppet not obey fully? Do you have a choice to now disobey as well as to obey?
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Love your neighbor as yourself."
(Matthew 22:37-40 NIV 1984 Edition)
And there is no 'try to' or 'do your best' here. Perfect God expects perfect obedience ! You got to be 100% sinless 100% of the time.
Egyptian paganism and, later, Jewish Pharisees taught that we're weighed on a balancing scale. If our good deeds outweigh are sins, we're saved. If our sins outweigh our good deeds, we go to Hell.
Sacred Scripture knows nothing of such relativism ! When the Hebrews were given the Decalogue, they replied: "We will do everything the Lord has said" (Exodus 19:8) ...the only acceptable answer.
Not 'we will do most of what the Lord has said'. Or, 'a lot of it'. Or, 'give it a good try'.
No. It was "everything the Lord has said" !
And -if keeping our salvation depends upon what we do- we must be perfect as God is perfect (Matthew 5:48). Though in reality:
"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive
ourselves and the truth is not in us"
(1 John 1:8 NIV 1984 Edition)
Though as Christians we attempt perfection (out of gratitude for our redemption), happily our salvation does not depend upon it. Or we'd all be in Hell.
Things like praying and membership in a True Church are SIGNS of salvation rather than MEANS of salvation.
An old Reformation adage: "We aren't saved by our works, but neither do we have a salvation which has no works".
Salvation requires perfect works. There has to be perfect works ! Christians rely upon the perfect works of Jesus Christ for redemption.
