Saved by Grace, Faith, and the Blood

[Amanah]

I just got home from walking the dog and need to get ready for work in a few minutes. But, while I was walking Siegfried, I was thinking about how we are saved and what does it mean to be in obedience to the scriptures.

I'm assuming that scriptures were given us as a pattern for living, to not only show us the door to salvation, but to also teach of how we are to be in this world.

Once we experience the new birth, then are we to continue on growing in grace and obedience to the scriptures?

If we do not continue on, but live our lives in the flesh, are we damned?

what do you feel constitutes working out our salvation?

When do you feel that a person who has once tasted the gift of eternal life is so far gone, that if that person died today, they would be forever lost.

Is daily repentance required to cover ourselves as we fall short, or maybe miss the mark and don't even realize it?

What about a person who is trying to live for God, but slips,
goes out and gets drunk,
cusses out the person who cuts them off on I95 and takes the Lord's name in vain,
a married man goes to a office party and finds himself flirting with and kissing an attractive coworker,
watches a R rated movie with lots of nude sex and finding themself lusting
has a heart attack and dies

when do we die lost?

is there any way we must live?

what must we do to be saved?
