what is salvation exactly ?

[jabcat]

Every aspect of our salvation is a gift from God. Repentance and faith are gifts from God. The Righteousness of God is a gift from God. The Holy Spirit, which helps believers to produce the fruits of Righteousness, is a gift from God. The fruits of Righteousness themselves are gifts from God. Our salvation is one hundred percent the work of God's grace from start to finish, and man is in no position to boast about any aspect of his salvation. All the glory goes to God.

When a person believes and accepts what Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross for him and for the whole world, a powerful and wonderful transformation takes place in the person's life through the gift of the Holy Spirit. He is transformed from darkness to light, from blindness to sight, from captivity to freedom and from a child of Satan to a child of God. He receives the blessed assurance of the Holy Spirit that all of his sins, past, present and future, are forgiven, and that he stands totally righteous before God with God's Righteousness, even though he still battles with the temptations of the flesh.
