Scriptural references for: the struggle between virtue and sinVerbatim references: None Everlasting and eternal life hangs in the balance in the
struggle between virtue and sin, light versus darkness. Jesus Christ came into this world to assist us in the
struggle to purge our lives from sin and to enable us to be regenerated and to
live sanctified and holy lives. Jesus Christ did not come into this world to grant us the
license to sin nor to hide our sins from God; He came to purge our lives from
sin (regeneration) and to fill our lives full of virtue (sanctification). Salvation then requires total repentance from the darkness
of sin and a complete surrender to the bright light of living a life filled to
overflowing with virtue. The darkness of hate is replaced by the bright light of
love. The darkness of discouragement and despair is replaced by
the bright light of hope. The darkness of ignorance is replaced by the
truth. Then we can walk with God.
Amen.
