Who does the Saving?

Here is a quote from a friend of mine's blog about what it means to have salvation in Jesus Christ:

"...our focus [should be] on the One doing the saving more than those who are being saved. Our salvation is more about the Triune God than about us. We respond to grace, but the emphasis is properly on the One who extends that grace."

We just talked about the Big, Three-In-One God last week. If God is that big, then he is big enough to offer us salvation. Salvation simply means to become again what we were orginally designed to be. We were designed to act like God, our creator, to other people and to the universe. But, left to ourselves, we will choose NOT to act like God. Jesus came to show us how to act like God. Jesus also took on our desire not to act like God (sin) and killed it off on the Cross. If we say we are sorry to God for trying to control our own lives, then trust Jesus with our lives, thoughts, actions, feelings, decisions, then we can begin to become more and more like we were created to be, and live a life that has deeper meaning and purpose.
