Salvation means deliverance from sin and all its consequences. Review and meditate on these truths until you can say with confidence, “I know I am saved. I have been born into God’s family as His child, I now have eternal life”
Salvation is a total package which redeems us from the effect of the fall of man from grace. This brings a new life which is obtainable by simply accepting the sacrifice of Jesus (God’s son) on the cross. Although we are saved once, there is an ongoing work where we are enjoined to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Before we are saved, all our attempts at good deeds are deemed as filthy rags before God; only the redemptive work of Christ can wholly save us. However, after being saved, our lives should be characterised by a zealousness to do good works”
