What Is the Meaning of the Lord Jesus’ Salvation?

In the Age of Grace, since mankind had become more and more corrupt, they had no adequate sacrifices to bear their sins. Everyone was facing the danger of being put to death according to the law. Thus, according to the needs of mankind, God personally became flesh as the image of the Lord Jesus and was crucified and served as a sin offering for humanity, bestowing upon man the salvation of the crucifixion. From now on, our sins would be forgiven and we would no longer be executed by the law as long as we believe in the Lord, and pray to Him and confess. It can be seen that the salvation of the Lord Jesus is only the redemption. That is, God forgives us and no longer sees us as sinners. But the satanic nature within us has not been forgiven by God, so we still sin and resist God constantly. This proves that our sins have not been completely cleansed, and we have yet to receive God's eternal salvation, nor can we enter the kingdom of heaven.

Just as God’s word says, “The sins of man were forgiven through the agency of the incarnate God, but this did not mean that man no longer had sin within him. The sins of man could be forgiven through the sin offering, but as for just how man can be made to sin no more, and how his sinful nature may be extirpated completely and transformed, he has no way of solving this problem. The sins of man were forgiven, and this is because of the work of God’s crucifixion, but man continued to live within his corrupt satanic disposition of old. This being so, man must be completely saved from his corrupt satanic disposition, so that his sinful nature may be completely extirpated, never to develop again, thus enabling the disposition of man to be transformed. This would require man to grasp the path of growth in life, to grasp the way of life, and to grasp the way to change his disposition. Furthermore, it would require man to act in accordance with this path, so that his disposition may gradually be changed and he may live under the shining of the light, so that all that he does may be in accord with the will of God, so that he may cast away his corrupt satanic disposition, and so that he may break free from Satan’s influence of darkness, thereby emerging fully from sin. Only then will man receive complete salvation.”

It can be seen that if we want to escape sin and gain God's eternal salvation, we still need to receive another stage of salvation work the Lord does in the last days. So how can we get God’s eternal salvation in the last days?
