The idea of salvation is sometimes reduced to being forgiven so you can go to heaven. But a fuller biblical account of salvation will involve some conception of a transformation God seeks that will enable us to achieve genuine fulfillment. While there can be identifiable turning points, the transformation God seeks for us takes time and often involves choices we are hardly aware of that put us on a path toward or away from spiritual growth. When we limit our attention to what happens in one particular moment, we divert our attention away from God’s larger project that is the point of salvation.
