    Salvation is the saving of ones soul from sin and death when their earthly pilgrimage is complete so that they might rise up to The Lord, sit at his right hand, and live in Heaven forevermore with the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit.

    The process by which our spirit, (the vast chamber containing all existence and life), our psyche, (translated 'soul' and including all that forms within us during a 'life' and which defines and separates us as a unique 'person'), our mind, ('dianoia' meaning, 'deep intellect' representing our connection to shared ambitions, institutions, and causes), and our intellect, ('nous' meaning the conscious reflection with all associated abilities), each separately learns to fully love through a growing intimacy with Adonai our Creator as we nurture others exactly as we nurture ourselves, thereby escaping from the punishments of original Torah and Christ's Torah that would otherwise cause each of these expressions of human reality to become extinguished and die in the absence of that divine life-giving love, beginning with a deep reverent fear installed by Christ's Holy Spirit that purges, warns, guides, rescues, expresses Itself through our weaknesses and eventually unites us with others in common joys as we experience the same impartial and equal divine education with the same starting point of meekness and humility exhibited by Jesus our Lord, Redeemer and eternal Sustainer, culminating in the same matured vibrant unified and unbroken voice of endless and eternal worship in currently unimaginable and unspeakable forms without ever exhausting creativity, mystery, glorious exploration and paradoxical surprises.

    Salvation--the same Greek word is also translated as "righteousness" and as "justification"--is being restored, by God's grace, to the spiritual state we ought to be in.

    Christ Jesus came and died for the forgiveness of sin, taking the punishment for all sinners, was buried, and three days later rose again, conquering all and proving it is finished so that all who believe in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

    Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. (Romans 10:9-10)

    God the Father sent God the Son to die for your sins so that if you repent and believe you will have everlasting life and not eternal damnation.
