Salvation according to the Greek interpretation means = A deliverance. We are delivered eternally by God's sovereign grace and we are delivered many times, according to the scriptures, as we live our lives here on earth. Exo 14:30, The Lord saved Israel that day out of the land of the Egyptians. Paul tells us that we have a warfare within us of the Spirit against the flesh. Sometimes after we have been born again and heaven is secured by Christ on the cross, we do yield our bodies to our fleshly desires and sin against God. When we do this we lose our fellowship with God (not our eternal deliverance) because God does not fellowship with sin. When we are in the state of non fellowship God pricks our heart and our guilt causes us to repent. If God forgives us we have just been delivered (saved) from our lack of fellowship with God.
