People need not just to accept but also to grow in relationship with God. God's grace and love constantly prompts and seeks to transform us, and so we should continually seek and pray to grow in holiness and love.
A believer should support social climates, in which human communities are maintained and strengthened for the sake of all persons and their growth.
God enables every person to resist evil, by accepting forgiveness and liberation, and willing to be open to the Holy Spirit.
