Understanding Salvation
Salvation- NOUN:
1.a. Preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil.
b. A source, means, or cause of such preservation or deliverance.
Christianity definitions:
1.Deliverance from the power or penalty of sin; redemption.
2.The agent or means that brings about such deliverance.
What does Salvation mean to you?
I find out more with every passing day what Jesus dying on the cross means to me. An interesting discussion in our LIFE group this week, as we spoke about how we view this world of ours through different references of "our time"....It continues to permeate in me the wonderment of our "mortality." To put it simply....what does this crazy life of ours actually MEAN to us?....Is it wasting our time with Orgys(use your imagination on that term carefully, though!) and sinful rhetoric, or is it finding the true meaning of our existence on earth?
God does challenge us in our lives....as an admired member of our group reminded me today..."fills the holes in our lives"....perhaps as a ways of challenging us to do good on this earth, rather than evil...what do you think?
