To be redeemed(rescued) from the old life that you had that was not worth living and given a chance at a new and better life, forever. You have to continue to appropriate the salvation throughout your life to really receive the fullness of it.

Salvation is not just being forgiven from sin. It's knowing what sin is and knowing the difference between good and evil, right and wrong. It's knowing how to live a life of righteousness, so you don't need God's forgiveness.
You can still be saved but be doomed to purgatory. Purgatory is when the Saints read your sins to you, one by one. Even if you are to be forgiven for them, you still committed them. The only difference between you and an unsaved soul is forgiveness.
When you leave purgatory you'll still go to heaven. But the more sins you've committed the longer you'll wait to get in to Heaven ( while your sins are being read to you).
So just being saved don't feel too secure. You still have to live a good life too. The more you sin, the more squirming you'll have to do in God's presence.
The person with the most power to save you isn't necessarily God. It's your own true self!

It is complete detachment from earthly things and absolute attachment to the love of the One True God. This is an individual attainment beyond all description.
All the saints, the boddhisatvas, the imams... expressed their greatest bliss, and people without attainment cannot understand.
The path to it is that same and eternal path: Seek for the Messenger of the One True God for our time and do His biddings.

That is a big description but to me It is having PEACE WITH GOD
AND A CLEAR CONSCIENCE ONLY GOD CAN DO THIS!
Rom 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Sense I have been Born of God I no longer fear death because Jesus
died for me.I will never die just leave this life and go straight to heaven to be with my Lord Jesus.
Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
In Christ in LOve,

It is the free gift of eternal life given to every child who is born spiritually of God. Not by works or being good enouph should anyone boast.
It is believing in the Way, Truth & Life.

salvation is when you except JESUS CHRIST as you SAVIOR. you know HE died on the cross for you to be forgiven of your sins, you repent of your sins. you pray and ask the HOLY SPIRIT to help you understand the bible. little by little JESUS changes you. you see more what is wrong and right. and right feels so much better, when you die you will be with GOD forever in heaven unless the rapture happens first then we will be caught up in the air with HIM .
