God directs everything that is in conformity with His character and with His blessed will and plan for our lives. When a believer sins he does not lose his salvation. In I John 2:1 and 2 we read, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not (that means going on sinning as a manner of life). And if any man sin (that means commit an act of sin), we (be lievers) have an adovcate with the Father (not the Judge), Jesus Christ the righteous.” You can no more make an unbeliever out of a believer by sin ning than you can unscramble a scrarti- bled egg.
