Evangelical Christians agree that God initiates salvation. God is the one who pursues us even when we had no desire to pursue him. But can a person lose or give away their salvation. Do willful, persistent patterns of sin in a person's life keep them from being saved? On the Eternal Security side of the debate, Christians might not make any progress in sanctification, but that doesn't have an effect on their salvation. On the Conditional Security side, God expects his followers to be both saved and sanctified. However, in the end, both views agree that a consistent commitment to Christ is required if we are to have security in this life and the next.
