What is salvation? How do we come to experience it?

We are saved by cleaving to the mercy of God and making choices in our lives towards becoming children of God. We often don’t have the strength to choose not to sin, but we have the strength and the ability to call upon God and ask for His strength. It is in this process that we become more and more filled with God’s strength and His grace, as well as with humility.

Grace is another word for the uncreated energies of God. Little by little it is through becoming filled with God’s uncreated energies, that we are healed, purified, and transformed into children of God, into gods by grace. It is not an overnight healing but rather a Path that we walk. When life becomes an everyday choice to walk on the Path of Sanctification, we find peace.
