Thank you for your response. Well written but then a little all over the place. Still the question...what is the difference between saved and
salvation?
Your question;
What is the difference between saved and salvation?
First: saved and salvation must be considered it Involves TWO parties.
Salvation Involves the 1st Party; God
Salvation is AN OFFERING God Himself established, and Offers.
Saved Involves the 2nd Party; Individual of the whole of Mankind.
Salvation Offered BY God, AND the Offering Accepted BY an Individual, results in the Individual BECOMING, "MADE" Saved.
Earth, is DRY Land, created By God.
From the Created Dry Land, God created a KIND of Thing, God called a MAN KIND of thing. A Terrestrial.
Gods Desire is that EVERY Individual Terrestrial Man Kind of Thing...WILL solicit/choose/elect thee Lord God Almighty to BE "the individuals" Personal God.
Who can solicit/choose/elect What they Know not? Thus God Himself has provided Man kind of things with a plethora of ways and means, to learn About God Himself.
And the EFFORT of an individual TO Learn About God, rests on the individual's OWN Desire to exert that effort and diligence TO Learn About God / or Not.
(Freewill of the individual)
Salvation OFFERED, By God, IS an OFFERING to Every single individual man kind of thing.
The man kind of thing...IS FLESH and Bone, and its LIFE IS its BLOOD...
The man kind of thing...once it is created IS "MADE" alive by receiving a LIVING SOUL.
Salvation IS OFFERED (By God)...TO SAVE WHAT?
To SAVE; The Flesh, bone, blood of the man? No.
To SAVE; The natural spirit of a man (which is the mans natural truth in his heart)?
No.
To SAVE WHAT?
The Living Soul within the mans flesh body.
WHY?
All souls BELONG to God, regardless, if they are IN or OUT of a mans body, and are called by the mans NAME.
All LIFE from God, Belongs to God, regardless, if the Life is IN a vessel God created and Put Life in the vessel, or removes Life OUT of the vessel.
The BODY (a created vessel) of man "IS" already sentenced TO DIE. God requires the Body's LIFE (its Blood), No one escapes that Sentence.
The SOUL, in or out of a body, belongs to God.
The LIFE, in or out of the Soul, belongs to God.
A man, (BODY), with his own LIFE (blood) Alive (blood flowing, beating the heart)...
Also has a LIFE source IN HIS BODY...
The LIVING SOUL.
(Gods LIFE, Gods vessel SOUL).
Mankind iS created, (the formed body, vessel)...CORRUPT...meaning NOT knowing or Loving the Lord God Almighty.
And for every passing moment, a man kind of thing, HAS Gods "Living soul", IN the mans CORRUPT BODY ... the LIVING SOUL, is being subjected to the Body's Corruption. (Being Against God)...and thus the LIVING SOUL (that belongs to God) is by default being Corrupted....BY being IN the individuals own FLESH Body.
ONLY as long as the individual's own LIFE..
BLOOD, functioning, can an individual own BODY, function; learn, hear, make choices, make elections.
Thus WHILE a man IS alive in his own Corrupt Flesh, can an individual man, Choose/Elect, To, Accept Gods OFFERING of SALVATION, TO SAVE,....The Living Soul, God Himself has blown into the nostrils of that individual.
So what DOES, it mean, when a man Elects to Accept Gods Offering of Salvation?
First it means the man has ELECTED, Thee Lord God Almighty "EXCLUSIVELY" to be that individuals ONE and Only God Above ALL other gods.
Secondly it mean that God WILL "RESTORE" that mans soul, TO its "GOODNESS" it was WHEN God gave it to the man kind of thing.
It means FOREVER, that SOUL SHALL Maintain/KEEP within it LIFE from God.
And IF a man REJECTS, Accepting Gods OFFERING of SOUL (saving/restoration) ?
After a period of time passing...
The Life of the BODY, (Blood) will depart the body.
The Life of the SOUL, (Gods Breath) will depart the soul, and "RETURN" to God...and the Body and Soul Destroyed.
The mans Natural truth (ie natural spirit) in his heart, will Never have been quickened, (born again) with Gods Seed ... thus the mans natural spirit (ie natural truth) will be destroyed along with his body.
God "creates" things.
God "creates" things, from "existing things He has already "created".
God "creates" things, that never existed,
By;
The Authority of His own Eternal Existence;
The Word of His mouth;
and by;
Supreme Power of His Spirit.
Thereafter, God changes the things he "Creates"....
BY "MAKING" the things CHANGED...
BY "giving and taking away".
Gen 1
[1] In the beginning God CREATED the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1
[27] God created man...
Gen 2
[
7] And the LORD God formed man OF the dust of the ground
God breathed into his nostrils the breath OF life;
and man became a living soul.
Ezek 18: (Saith the Lord)
[4] All souls are mine ...
Gen 5
[
1] ... In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
[
2] Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
[
3] And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own (CORRUPT) likeness, after his image; (CORRUPT natural seed) and called his name Seth:
John 1
[
1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[
2] The same was in the beginning with God.
[
3] All things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 14:
[
6] Jesus saith unto him... I am the life...
John 6
[51] I am...came down from Heaven....
that I will give
is my flesh, ,
which I will give
...
for the life of the world.
Heb 10
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the "Offering of the body" of Jesus Christ "once for all."
Everything that God HAS CREATED, Becomes CHANGED, by the Word of God's "MAKING" it changed. By "giving the created thing something or taking away from the created thing something".
Job 1
[
21] ...the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; ...
Gen 9
[5] And surely
your blood of your lives will I
require;
Pertains to Gods Offering of SALVATION...
An OFFERING of CHANGE in a man, is Offered BY God, for Him to MAKE particular and everlasting CHANGES in a man...
And the Caveat is...
Each Individual must DECIDE Himself "IF" He wants to Accept Gods Offering...or Not.
Glory to God,
Taken
