User blog comment:Christian Sirolli/A Closer Look at our Salvation. Another perspective from Hebrews ch 2/@comment-1777104-20160226020618

It appears some words may be left out in the second paragraph.  But let me restate what you were saying as I understand it: If we neglect the salvation we have in Christ, we will suffer the consequences of sin. God, in Christ, payed the price to redeem us from the death we deserve, counting us as rightesous when we deserved death.  This was Christ's message, repeated by is disciples and confirmed by miracles.
"Salvation" is not a price paid.  The word salvation is an act by a Savior on behalf of those held in bondage or those in dire danger of destruction.  The price paid was the Savior's work, his life and his death.  It was forshadowed in the millions of oxen and sheep killed from the beginning of time up to the death of Christ Himself.
