Recently I was listening to Alistair Begg. I did not notice what sermon it was but in the middle of his comments he threw this in, “God is not only able to redeem us out of the stuff, but He is able to keep us from that stuff.” That sounds like being able to live in victory over sin to me. I totally agree with the statement, and its implications. The problem is that it does not fit well with the Calvinist view of the Christian walk. If you must sin every day in word, thought and deed, how is God going to “keep us from that stuff?”
I am glad to see that Alistair is coming around.
