Hi Idealist,
While I first I disagreed with this, I think I know where you are coming from. See David's post about asking God to save him from Depression, etc ...........fill in the blanks.
Although salvation from our sins and getting to go to heaven because of what Jesus did on the cross is a one time thing, living the Christian life is an ongoing process. Becoming a Christian does not mean that all of our problems are going to be gone. Instead, God gives us himself. As we allow Jesus to live in us and through us, we can live the Christian life. We can't do it in the flesh and in our own power.
Thank you for your comments. I am going to post part 2 and then we can all discuss it further.
