The “eternal salvation” we have been offered means the elimination of a verdict on our sin. The setting aside of judgment and the award of undeserved membership in God’s family. It is a change in destiny, an awakening of hope, an overcoming of death. Salvation turns a person toward heaven and inaugurates a life of discipleship with the loving Christ. It is God’s vote for you, God’s invitation to you, God’s energy invested in you. Salvation is the reason you can smile in the morning and rest in the evening. God loves you, and you belong to him.--- Life Application Study Bible notes
