About This Quote

When we speak about the word “salvation”, we often think of something that is eternal and completely outside of ourselves. This is obviously not the case. Salvation is here, local and mortal. We cannot be saved from mortal life and death, but we can be saved from this mortal life and live for eternity in heaven.
