Eternity is Now in Session
What does it mean to be saved?
The concept of “salvation” itself needs to be saved from its current misunderstanding―inside the church and out. Many people think “being saved” is about meeting the minimum entrance requirements for getting into heaven when they die. But that’s not how Jesus talked about it.
Rightly understood, being saved is the urgent desire of every human being, whether they think of themselves as religious or not. Salvation is the reclamation of humanity by God, experiencing his presence, favor, and power―starting now. On earth.
