The depth of salvation

“My mouth will tell of Your righteousness, of Your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure.” Psalm 71:15
Sometimes it’s difficult, or even impossible, to measure the depth of something intangible like our salvation. What does it mean to us? At the very least, it means we get to spend eternity in heaven with the Lord, instead of eternity in hell separated from Him. It also means we receive an inheritance with Christ, that was set aside for us before the foundation of the world. It means we are able to find our true purpose in life, and the connection between man and God that was broken when Adam sinned, is now restored in us.
At the moment we don’t fully understand all that salvation means to us. We don’t know the extent of the wonder and glory of heaven. Nor can we imagine the depth of pain and torment that exists in hell.
On top of this, is the magnitude of the price that was paid for our salvation. We know that Jesus died on the cross for us, and this was the only acceptable price for the sin of the world – but we can’t begin to fathom how much this cost God Himself. Nevertheless, we can – and should – praise Him, thank Him, and worship Him for doing this for us.
