Whenever I study salvation, it is clear that this miracle is wonderful beyond comprehension. There are so many different aspects to the covering and atoning that Christ offers for our sins that it is impossible for us to be able to truly appreciate it. We get glimpses and gain a fuller appreciation, but it is so huge that our human minds cannot totally grasp its significance.
I am also reminded of how frequently I take my salvation for granted. Because Christ has removed my sins from me as far as the east is from the west, because He has given me a measure of peace in my life, because I am no longer driven by sin in the way that those who have not yet been set free are — for all these reasons, I so quickly forget how incredible this gift is.
This is why it is so important to stay in contact with the real world. Sometimes we get in our Christian bubbles and we forget about the world that is lost and dead in sin. We get so focused on enjoying our freedom in Christ and building relationships with others in the faith (which are good things, no doubt), that we often loose our passion for the lost.
We forget that God is as passionate about the world as He was for us!
What do you tend to forget or take for granted about your salvation?
