Luke 19 and Luke 4 have always been very influential to me on how I think about salvation as well, though I too have missed the point of the first part of Luke 7. In both those passages salvation has come TODAY. When seen from this vantage point, it makes the question, "Am I saved?" a silly question or at least one that has different implications. Don't get me wrong, going to heaven is important. Put the church would have more of an impact on helping people get to heaven if we thought of salvation as a more case by case, present tense thing then something that's taken care of when we get people in the water.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073231541808609041noreply@blogger.com
