salvation. People have been told they are Christians because
they have confessed they believe that Jesus died for their
sins, but the total package is presented in such a way that
it leaves the general life untouched.
Biblically, salvation means deliverance; the question is,
"Deliverance from what?" The common message is "deliverance
from guilt." But the full concept of salvation in the New
Testament is deliverance from our present sins. Deliverance
from sins comes from the new life of God's Kingdom when
we place our confidence in Jesus the person.
The problem is that we have been obsessed with this idea
that the real issue is "making the cut" to get to heaven.
We have taken the discipleship out of conversion."-DW
