The essential accompaniment of a genuine saving relationship with Jesus Christ is a life of holiness and obedience. The Christian's goal in conduct should be to glorify God among men; his conduct should be blameless before the world. This conduct is not a means of salvation, but is a proper evidence and fruit of salvation.

This life is possible as a Christian submits his life to the control of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 2:8-10; James 2:14-26
