On salvation
Not much I disagree with here in this article which excerpts a book chapter:
“Salvation encompasses every intimate, hope-filled word God has ever spoken, every powerful thing he has ever done. There is nothing more comprehensive, more necessary, or more compelling than his salvation. In his Son, Jesus Christ, God reaches into my brokenness, my hopelessness, my despair, my shame. He reaches into the hell of my self-hatred. He enters the ugliness of my pride and my vanity, the lies with which I deceive myself and the empty promises with which I delude myself. He lifts me out of the catastrophe that my life is apart from him. He makes me new. Who could imagine such a gift? It is beyond the reach of my limited mind. But not beyond the depth of my hunger for wholeness and holiness.
“Salvation is the most beautiful reality in the world.”
