SALVATION MUST BE MAINTAINED MOMENT BY MOMENT BY CONTINUALLY VALUING THE TRUTH BY FAITH -EVIDENCES OF REVEALED TRUTH CONVINCING THE MIND TO GLORY AND ESTEEM GOD ABOVE EARTHLY PLEASURE IN WHATEVER FORM IT MAY COME.
God only dwells in our mind as Love when we choose to have the Love revealing truth in the mind. This means to maintain God in the mind we must maintain our choice by maintaining a valuing of the truth. This valuing of the truth is obtained initially by God reasoning with man. God then by Divine power roots the truth in the mind as the person's experience when they believe. Hence it is written in Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
And because the salvation experience must be consciously maintained to be saved in the context of the blotting out of the record of sins in the investigative judgement it is written in Matt.24:13
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
And in Acts 3:19
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted (transformative aspect of salvation), that your sins may be blotted out (forensic aspect in passing in the investigative judgement), when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Psalms 1:5
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
This is why baby is not born holy, righteous and with God as its ideal value because it has not reached the age of reason to reason out and know right from wrong, and to make a choice for the right, that God as Love could be valued in their mind to keep God in their mind by valuing Him. This would be manifested if it were possible by long-suffering and
patience when not yet fed.
