At one time, in the not so distant past, I would have defined salvation as the “thing” or the event that needed to and/or had to occur so that a person would not go to hell. And, this “thing” was primarily the person’s doing, choosing, and obeying, with Divine assistance, of course. Now, by God’s grace and mercy, I have EXPERIENCED salvation, and ONLY by and through Holy Spirit rebirth can I proclaim Psalm 3:8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. I did nothing. I brought nothing but my rebellion. I changed nothing about myself. God ALONE did EVERYTHING. So, what is salvation? It is the Holy invitation to life, love, and relationship with the One who loves me most! Salvation is life in the real world!
