That's something we should be working on even now. Salvation in itself is purely passive but we are meant to become partners with God (albeit junior partners!) and that means to engage with life creatively.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513199068907090344.post-83619463619484026422021-05-24T06:24:06.816+00:002021-05-24T06:24:06.816+00:00William and Frank - Yes.

Indeed, for some - it reduces life to a person's state of mind at the exact moment of death. Nothing else matters - ultimately. <br /><br />This is an impossible basis of life - being almost wholly negative and avoidant, a spirituality of trying to to be 'safe'; and it opens wide the door to Satan to take over all the specifics of human living, all the functions. As indeed happened.

I appreciate the approachable and comprehensible manner in which you touched upon theosis in this piece. I think under-emphasizing theosis played a big part and continues to play a big part in the wrong turn. It appears the absolute necessity of salvation dulled in the hearts of men when they failed to recognize the creative potential salvation provides.
