Hi, Craig —
Just to add to what Mary Ann has
said because each and every individual
born into the world has their own free will, they are free to use that
will to abide with Christ, Our Lord, or
not abide.
The choice is theirs, and for that
reason, throughout life we can have
a moral assurance of salvation, if
we abide in Christ, but . . . as you
stated in 1 Corinthians 9:24, we,
like St. Paul, have to run the race
to completion, hoping to freely choose
to abide in Christ until our passing
intoParticular Judgment.
Hope this helps,
Mike
