I would say that salvation from the day you turn around, to the day you enter into heaven, is the free gift.
at the same time, that gift has conditions. You cannot recieve forgiveness of your sins, if you are not sorry for, nor willing to cease the behavior, no matter how much you want the gift of salvation.
Every day is a choice on my part to walk toward God. When I fall, I choose to either get up or wallow in the mud I have fallen into.
