Part of me loves God, confessed the apostle Paul, and part of me rebels (see Romans 7). This condition is why David cried out, “Give me an undivided heart!” (Psalm 86:11). This is why salvation is a process, and it will help you be kind and merciful when those unconverted parts of you suddenly show up. Simply because the rage, bitterness, unbelief, or whatever pops out of the closet doesn’t mean your salvation isn’t real. It means parts of you are yet to be united to Christ.
