How do we know that escaping sin is necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Escaping sin is essential for salvation, as the Bible commands us to separate from the world to avoid judgment (Genesis 19:17).

The necessity of escaping sin for salvation is rooted in the biblical narrative, which appeals to the gravity of God's judgment. Genesis 19:17 illustrates that there is no safe place in sin; the call to 'escape to the mountain' signifies the only refuge available, which symbolizes Christ and His redemptive work. Furthermore, true faith in Christ entails a transformation that includes turning away from past sin. This doctrine aligns with the historic Reformed understanding of salvation—whereby one must leave behind the life of sin to embrace the hope found in the gospel. The urgency of such a message reflects God's desire for all to realize the danger of remaining in the plain of sin.
