Salvation—Where, When, How?

JAMES K. KYSER

Actually, everyone is already saved. The real man—the true spiritual selfhood of each of us—needs no deliverance. Being made in God's own image and likeness, we are His pure, perfect, sinless sons—God-made.

From what, then, do we need saving? From the false belief that we are man-made—material, sinful, begetting and begotten mortals. The counterfeit carnal mind, calling itself our mind, believes in sin and claims that inherent evils characterize mankind. But this false sense of being can be overcome.

Where? When? The time and place were established by Christ Jesus. He worked out his salvation during his human experience. Final deliverance from matter was not achieved prior to the crucifixion, but Jesus' resurrection and ascension both took place on our plane of existence.
