Salvation brings the soul a deep awareness of God's love. Life takes on more meaning, for it now has a purpose.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift.
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
In each soul, God loves and partly saves the whole world which that soul sums up in an incommunicable and particular way.
God does not give us salvation because we believe. Our believing is only the normal way of receiving the salvation he freely gives.
Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.
In contrast, Christianity, while acknowledging the presence of suffering, declares that life can be infinitely worth living and opens the way to eternal life in fellowship with God Who so loved the world that He gave Himself in Christ.
The purpose of God's creations and of His giving us life is to allow us to have the learning experience necessary for us to come back to Him, to live with Him in eternal life.
Human salvation demands the divine disclosure of truths surpassing reason.
The meaning of life. The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: 'grace.'
Christian salvation consists in works. To be saved is to be made holy. To be saved requires our being made part of a people separated from the world so that we can be united in spite of - or perhaps better, because of - the world's fragmentation and divisions.
