greetings!
yesterday, i suggested that [for me] the best word for SALVATION is LIFE!
LIFE that comes from the LIFE-GIVER -- Jesus...
so, what does this LIFE "look like"???
for me, LIFE includes the following...
FORGIVENESS...coming into intimate relationship with God [experiencing forgiveness and extending forgiveness to others] -- no more guilt and shame...
REVELATION...life is all about vision and direction -- God giving sight to us even in our moments of blindness and darkness -- God leading us into our sweetspot...
FREEDOM...being liberated from the chains and locks of bondage -- taking a deep and refreshing breath of freedom...
SERVICE...finding joy is serving others [rather than always being served] -- being surprised by the ascendancy of giving over receiving -- something our culture does not grasp...
HEALING...for now and forever...healing always comes to God's children [but not always in this world] -- as we hope in the Lord our strength is renewed...
PEACE...just may be the most treasured of all gifts as we walk the spiritual journey of life -- God will keep in perfect peace ALL those who trust in him...
LOVE...the cosmic glue that holds the universe together -- both now and forever...
SALVATION = LIFE [as experienced above]...
the bottom line...
in several conversations of late -- where people have told me they had been recently "saved" -- the testimony was the same -- word for word...
"Jesus gave me my life back -- I was at the point where I had NO life -- but now I have the life of Jesus...
it is almost impossible to argue with this...
blessings!
guy
may each of us experience the fullness of LIFE that Jesus offers during this Advent season...
