Most of us associate our salvation with a specific incident:
a conversation, a sudden realization, a moment in which it became clear to us
that the Lord was speaking; that God was right and we were wrong; that we were
sinners and that there was something we urgently needed to do about that. So in
our own way we cried out to God: some with tears, some more tentatively, still
not completely sure what might be involved. How much we may have fully grasped of
the role of Christ in both salvation and in the government of our lives from
then on almost certainly differed from person to person.
But my point is … it was a point in time. And if you say the
word “salvation”, that event is primarily what we think of.
An event is good. If you have one to look back on, I’m glad.
