The Spirit of God in our lives wants to minister grace—God’s divine favor and blessing—to us on a daily basis. Because of this, we can live in the continual blessing and comfort of the Holy Spirit. Grace did not stop when we were born again. When we leave this earth and go to be with Him, grace will have only begun. In the ages to come, He will lavish His grace upon us.

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:5-8).

Salvation is a free gift of God. It comes to us by the grace of God. Salvation is more than the new birth. It is salvation in every area of our lives. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words says salvation means “deliverance, preservation; material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension; pardon, protection, liberty, health, restoration, soundness, wholeness.” Our salvation does not stop when we are born again. Philippians 2:12 says, “...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” In other words, have respect and honor unto Him and continue to work out your own salvation.

What does it mean to work out your own salvation? It simply means to follow after the Holy Spirit. Only God knows the end and the depths of salvation and the wonderful things He has prepared for us in this life. He has more in store for us than just going to heaven when we die. We are to live in the blessing and dominion of God while here on earth.
