Salvation!

And if they "accept Christ as their Savior" and do not understand that God exists as an infinite-personal God, and do not understand that man has been made in the image of God and has value, and do not understand that man's dilemma is not metaphysical because he is small but moral because man revolted against God in a space-time Fall, in all probably they are not saved! 

Francis A Schaeffer "A Christian Worldview!"

Isn't this the problem today? We have reduced God to an experience or a "feeling" rather than the life-altering relationship it actually is. Like any relationship, it takes effort and work to maintain. Like any good relationship, there will be ups and downs.

When salvation is reduced to a feeling, we run the risk of abandoning the faith when the feeling is gone.

And so, for lack of affirmation, we miss out on the beauty of a real "space-time" relationship with a personal God.
