My study of Medieval Church History a couple of sessions ago really brought out some truths I hadn’t thought of before and stimulated my thinking. One thing I learned was that Western Christianity took a different direction or a different view regarding salvation than Eastern Christianity. I’ll be taking a course, Lord willing, on Eastern Christianity in the near future and I’m really looking forward to that, because I believe there’s a lot we can learn from that “branch” of the body of Christ. But one of the most important differences has to do with what salvation really consists of, or we could say, what it is that we’re really saved “from” or saved “for,” or, we might say, we’re saved “to be.”
