什么是「得救」？我活得好好的为什么需要得救？得救一词对很多人来说很抽象，人们想像不出自己需要得救的理由。对很多基督徒来说，得救一样很抽象。很多基督徒对「口里承认，心里相信，就必得救」这句话朗朗上口，但对得救是什么样的情况却是相当模糊。

当我们查考圣经会发现一个很具体的答案──真正的得救是指着「身体的复活」，也就是保罗所说的「身体得救赎」。当我们信耶稣之后，我们得以「与神和好」，回复到亚当受造之初的状态。那是一个「可善可恶」的状态，人可以自己决定要顺服上帝或违背上帝。这已经很大的改变，因为没有信耶稣的人是完全没有办法顺服上帝的。但即使我们相信耶稣，与上帝和好了，重新拥有顺服上帝的能力，却仍然有可能犯罪。这也是许多基督徒的经验。

为什么我们已经信主，却仍然会犯罪？最大的原因就是我们还活在肉身之中。所以保罗说：「就是我们这有圣灵作初熟果子的，也是自己内心呻吟，等候得儿子的名份，就是我们的身体得赎。」直到我们领受一个全新的身体的那一天，我们的呻吟才会止息。在这等候的过程中，圣灵也「亲自用无可言喻的叹息替我们祈求」。

让我们也跟随圣灵，当圣灵不断为我们祈求的时候，我们也不要停止爱上帝。上帝会使「万事互相效力，叫爱上帝的人得益处。」最大的益处是什么呢？就是领受一个复活的身体，永不犯罪，像我们所爱的耶稣一样完全。

What is salvation? Why do I need to be saved if I am living well? The term 'salvation' is abstract to many people, and they cannot imagine the reason why they need to be saved. Similarly, for many Christians, salvation is also abstract. Many Christians may find the statement “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Is easy to say, but the actual meaning of salvation is quite vague.

When we examine the Bible, we find a concrete answer - true salvation refers to the ‘resurrection of the body,' which Paul calls ‘the redemption of our bodies.’ When we believe in Jesus, we are able to 'reconcile with God' and return to the state of Adam at the beginning of creation. That is a state where one can choose to obey or disobey God. This is already a significant difference, because those who do not believe in Jesus cannot obey God at all. But even when we believe in Jesus, reconcile with God, and regain the ability to obey God, it is still possible for us to sin. This is the experience of many Christians.

Why do we still sin even though we have believed in Jesus? The biggest reason is that we still live in our fleshly bodies. Therefore, Paul says, ‘but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.' Our groaning will not cease until the day we receive a whole new body. In this waiting time, the Holy Spirit also ‘intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.’

Let us pray in the Holy Spirit, and not stop loving God while the Holy Spirit continuously intercedes for us. ‘For those who love God all things work together for good.’ What is the best thing for those who love God? It is to receive a resurrected body that will never sin, just like Jesus, whom we love.
