Scripture teaches that every person who is chosen of God, regenerated, and granted faith and repentance, necessarily improves in their character, behavior, thinking, and feeling. Whatever moral and religious quality a man begins with is enhanced by his conversion to Christ. And this has to be the case; it cannot be otherwise. This is a certainty, it is inevitable, it is infallible. A converted man can no more avoid growing in virtue and piety than a baby can avoid growing into an adult. |
