What does it mean that salvation is a person and not a thing?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is personal and relational, manifested in the person of Jesus Christ, not through mere rituals or good deeds.

Understanding that salvation is a person emphasizes a relational aspect with Jesus Christ rather than viewing it as a mere transaction of rights or rituals. The sermon asserts that Jesus is our salvation; He embodies everything that is required for redemption. This notion counters any belief that one could achieve salvation through works or adherence to law. Ephesians 1 illustrates that all spiritual blessings are found in Christ, affirming that both salvation and righteousness are found only in Him. In recognizing Jesus as the personification of salvation, believers are called to deepen their relationship with Him, relying on His strength and grace.
