Christians only have a vague idea as to what their salvation involves (Gromacki, 1973, p 34). Salvation is a deliverance accomplished by someone known as Christ however, to most getting saved just means being kept out of hell or just getting in to heaven (Gromacki, 1973, p 34). Many see salvation as views of securing there eternal destiny but salvation is so much more it is without a doubt a spiritual blessing and not in reference to the daily blessing we receive from God but the blessings of the his position before God, as a saved person. Through the ultimate blessing of salvation everyone who accepts it belongs to God and they are abundant.
