Salvation means a lot of things to a lot of people. But for the believer in Jesus, it means everything. We understand that we have been eternally saved from the damning consequences of our sins. This is the crux of the Gospel message.
There is another way that Christians can experience salvation though, and that is through the power of Jesus working in us to save us from experiencing God’s discipline (wrath) for our daily sins as we walk this earth. Both aspects of salvation are important for us if we want to gain eternal life in Heaven and experience the abundant life on earth.
