Those who are in Christ have been justified before God. But salvation means much more; it means that we are sanctified, that God actually leads us into holiness. As Michael Allen and company explain, our holiness is carried out in the present work of our sovereign, loving God. In Christ we are given life, not simply in name, but in fact. Praise the Lord, who delivers His children through every weakness. Though you struggle with sin, do not be discouraged; it is God who works in you, "both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13).

An immigrant who just arrived in America may be unfamiliar with our language and culture. He would probably be disoriented and would not know where to turn for help, but if you spoke his language, you could befriend him and help him find his way in his new country. Many times, we feel lost and do not know God's will or how to pray in certain situations, but in our weakness the Holy Spirit is our friend who comes along side us and help us find our way.
