Men and women will readily acknowledge and admit to sins of immorality. They will judge a person's salvation based on reformations of life in turning from immorality to morality. But this does not even come close to the reality of the true nature of sin nor the reality of saving faith and true repentance. People who live immoral lives should certainly seek to change their behavior. They should turn from immorality to morality. They are responsible to do this merely as creatures. They are responsible to the God who created them and to their fellow man of whom God commands them love your neighbor as yourself. But this does not constitute salvation. Salvation, saving faith and true repentance, is revealed when a person confesses, in light of the Gospel, the preaching of Christ's righteousness as the only ground of salvation, the sin that deceives us all by nature, the sin of seeking to establish a righteousness of our own, the sin of thinking that anything other than Christ's righteousness could save us, keep us, or entitle us to any part of salvation. When people recognize how all that they by nature highly esteemed (all their works, efforts, reformations, while not submitted to the righteousness of God revealed in the Gospel) were dead works, evil deeds, fruit unto death, the fruit of unbelief and self-righteousness, and acts of open idolatry, then they evidence salvation, saving faith and true repentance. Until these sins are exposed and repented of in light of the Gospel, a person may come from immorality to morality (as he should) but still remain lost, condemned, owing a debt to God's law and justice, and an idolater bringing forth fruit unto death. Until he sees and believes that nothing but Christ's righteousness can save him, keep him, and entitle him to heaven, there is no salvation or fruit unto God.
