Salvation - Saved

For me at one time, the concept of salvation was restricted to eternal destiny, aka the afterlife. The question "What must I do to be saved?" was often found in our conversations. Once I realized that the afterlife began in Jesus Christ after he rose to new life, salvation took on a whole new meaning. I have been saved from all that came before as well as delivered into a brand new kingdom. Rescued from darkness and delivered into the Light. Salvation doesn't just start after I die, it is true even now ... despite all appearances.
