People can be made free from the evil in the world. They can be made free by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But if they go back into those evil things and are controlled by them, then it is worse for them than it was before.
2 Peter 2:20 ERV
No one is born as ‘the salt of the earth’, rather, we were all born into the need for the salt. But the grace of God found us and saved us from sin and its judgement.
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who understood, dealt wisely, and sought after God, inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him [of vital necessity]. They are all gone aside, they have all together become filthy; there is none that does good or right, no, not one.
Psalms 14:2-3 AMPC
We were all headed on the path to eternal destruction until the grace of God brought us salvation through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ; He set us free when we believe in Him. This same grace is very much available to set people free from the hold of Satan and sin.
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived, and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Titus 3:3-5 NIV
Having received this great grace, why should you then go back? You have been forgiven and cleansed, and set apart for God’s glory. Should you then turn back into the error from whence you were taken? Why would you want to be so careless to lose your saltiness (the grace of God upon your life)?
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Luke 9:62 KJV
It is time to put more fervour into working out your salvation with fear and trembling. The Grace of God is available to adequately do this. After you have received this grace, it is essential to stay in its workings.
