A saved soul has the light of God. This light will help us repel the darkness of sin. The light will shine through our lives. This we have to work out our salvation - display it, demonstrate it and show it. When that happens we will have the power to overcome sin. The light of God is not to be hid from our lives.
Faith without works is dead - it would be hard not to commit to good work where there is faith. The addiction to God and good work is a natural result of the salvation of God. The trial of our faith, example that of Abraham (Hebrew 11:17), is a testimony of true salvation. We will not do anything to grief the Holy Spirit.
We will also be given the ability to discern the true and separate from the false. We heard the teaching of God and we build our lives up based on our faith. We have the spirit. We hear; we understand; we apply in our in lives.
The question then is - if someone could not overcome sin and does not seem to display or demonstrate good works in his/her life, it therefore means that he/she is not saved? Is there no spirit in such a person? Is this person therefore not saved at all? "Truth will out"! It will be seen, ultimately, whether someone is saved or not. The truth will be seen one day!
