Will the grace that saved me also keep me saved?

Les teaches that the same grace that made it possible for a person to be saved in the first place is the grace that will keep those who are His, even though we don't deserve it. None of us deserve to stay saved, but we do because of His grace, if we have been truly saved in the first place. He points to Galatians 2, where believers stand before Him blameless because of the grace of God, that unmerited favor. Les clarifies that this is not license; grace does not tell the believer to go out and do what they please. But when a believer is under the power of the Holy Spirit, trying his best in the light of Scripture to walk pleasing in God's sight, and he fails, God does not kick him out. Les uses the illustration of a parent with a toddler taking first faltering steps: when the child falls, the parent doesn't give him a boot, but picks him up, gets him on those wobbly feet, and gets him going. That's what God does.
