That´s why the Spirit appeals seven times to the churches, to the believers, emphasizing the need to "hear" to understand.

Yes, there is something to overcome, good fruit to be produced, a race to win, and a good fight to fight. And there will be rewards and accountability for what we have done in this life with this amazing grace we've been given in Christ!
"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who operates in you." (Phil 2:12)
Christ has been "installed" in our deepest part, but we still must exercise our will to agree, trust and cooperate with His operation in us. Truly we only need to
be faithful in the few things He has given each of us, and He will thereby mature us and cause a good increase according to His life in us.
