 and deny Christ by your very life? The Bible says you don't have any life. That's why you're not growing. You can't grow if there's no life to start with. So the question you have to ask today is, do I have life? You listen to Paul's words in Colossians and you say, Paul, do I have to continue in the faith in order to be saved? And you hear Paul answering, no, but if you're saved, you'll continue in the faith.
