of lightning i am so excited about this thought that salvation has nothing to do with eternal life but is speaking
of losing the ability to be an overcomer
in Christ.Having been there as a carnal christian i always believed
in Jesus but i felt i did nt have the power to live a christian life so i felt like a hippocrite i was still subject to sin and sinful desires.So
