Our salvation has already been accomplished, and yet it is not complete. Strange, huh? Our salvation---freedom to live a new life free from sin---was accomplished with the death and resurrection of Jesus. And we intentionally claim this at our Baptism. It is accomplished. The Way has been provided.
However, our salvation is incomplete because it is something we (notice the communal pronoun) must live into. Like Psalm 119, it is a matter of living as God calls us to---a life without sin, like Jesus. This is certainly no easy thing. But listen to the outcome: eternal life with God. Eternal life where we are whole and well and at peace. Shalom.
Sin is whatever distances us from God. Salvation is being in intimate relationship with God 24/7---Eternal Life. It is in our grasp. Let's live salvation today.
