If you’re walking along a road, don’t see a pit, and nearly fall in but are grabbed at the last second by a friend, were you saved from that pit by your friend? Were you saved by your friend any less than people who had already fallen into the pit and then were then pulled from that pit by your friend?
“If you’re walking along a road, don’t see a pit, and nearly fall in but are grabbed at the last second by a friend, were you saved from that pit by your friend?”
But Scripture tells us that ALL fell into the pit, and NO ONE managed to stay out.
