for the most part, that salvation is based on John 3:16.

Myself, like most normal Christians, I believe that John 3:16 is the invitation. The ticket, so to speak. Salvation is the journey you take after getting your ticket. Just “accepting Jesus as your personal savior” is meaningless unless you live the life, so to speak. Your mileage may vary.

SO the point is, once you have the ticket, you have to get on the ride. The Supremes handed us a ticket. Get on. We have a long way to go, and we must be ever vigilant.

Pascal reminds me that enumerating this right also gives those who would fight us a wedge, and he’s right. Only we can keep that wedge out of our homes and our lives. Don’t think of this as the destination, just the beginning of the journey.
