(Rom 5:17) “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)” Although positionally, the Born Again are now the Children of God, yet in experience we are still in this old flesh and therefore at times sin against God. For this we have and do receive an abundance of grace (favor we do not deserve). We do not keep our salvation – God keeps us: (1Pe_1:5) “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
