So, then, salvation is salvation from the wrath of God. The wrath of God has been taken away. We have been reconciled to God. And not only that, salvation is also salvation from sin. The Christian is saved from sin's penalty, from sin's power, and, in heaven, from sin's very presence.
Salvation is also salvation from death.
The death of Jesus Christ on the cross saves us from all these. This salvation, however, is not merely a salvation from all these things. It is a salvation to something. We are saved to worship God, to serve God. Sin was disobedience to God, and salvation brings about our obedience to God.
