Salvation

Christians speak of salvation; being saved. What actually is the salvation we need? Not a status of distinction while we carry on as we did before and live as what Jesus calls 'dogs', eating whatever scraps we find of intellectual food irrespective of where it comes from and drinking water from puddles even if they have been fouled in. The dogs are not choosy about their intake and spiritual dogs happily listen to lies and sorcery and godless theories and their actions are just as godless. We each need to be saved from being the kind of person that will be cast into the Lake of Fire: "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral" (Greek: porno), "those who practice magic arts" (Greek: pharmakoi from which we get pharmacy, i.e. drug makers and sellers), "the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." -- Revelation 21:8.
The 'cowardly' keep losing their moral nerve,
'unbelieving' reject God-given faith,
'the vile' are repulsive in moral character,
'murderers' kill or hate without justification,
'the sexually immoral' sell their purity away,
'those who practice magic' produce drugs or potions,
'idolaters' rent out worship for money,
and 'all liars' knowingly keep misrepresenting.
