While conversion testimonies can certainly be exciting, the Bible teaches that salvation is more than just a one-time event. As Alistair Begg notes, salvation is a reality encompassing the whole Christian experience. Because our new life in Christ—past, present, and future—is a gift from God, we should not approach biblical commands as an external code of behavior. Instead, we should expect God’s grace in our lives to create a lasting atmosphere of holiness and love from within.
