Salvation

Redemption - The act of Christ whereby He paid the penalty for sin.

Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Personal Opinion:

So, everything in this universe resolves down to the same thing - bits of information.  That's the latest in scientific  thought.

All the stars, our bodies, our thoughts - nothing but on and off bits of information.  Maybe more, maybe less complicated than a computer code, file or program but still all the same.  Our thoughts, our speech, our writings, all bits of information which make it possible to communicate with one another and with God.

But God is spirit, the creator of all this media, this physical world.  Let's hope He has made it for something surprisingly fine.

I firmly believe He has and truly wants us to partake in it and be true and willing players of His rules.

The only rule book I know of is the Bible.  I don't think we were intended to make up our own rules.
