Theologians call it "sanctification." I think of it more as rehabilitation – being restored back into the image of God... to live life in all of its superabundance. It's a Jesus thing.
Or, we can wander off on our own merry way and go it alone... until the pain of bashing our heads against that brick wall brings us to our senses.
It’s a simple choice between grace and works. Not much of a choice when you think about it.
