Salvation + Highway 80

In the final analysis God does not judge us by the seperate incidents or seperate mistakes that we make, but by the total bent of our lives.

In the final analysis God knows that his children are weak.

In the final analysis, what God requires is that your heart is right.

Salvation isn´t reaching the destination of absolute morality, but it´s being in the process and on the right road:

There is a highway called Highway 80. I´ve marched on that highway from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomory. But I will never forget my first experience with Highway 80 when I was driving to California. We drove from Montgomery all the way to Los Angeles. And you know, being a good man, being a good woman, does not mean that you have arrived in Los Angeles. It simply means that you are on "Highway 80" .

Maybe you haven´t gotten as far as Meridian, Mississippi, or Monroe, Louisiana - that isn´t the question.
The question is whether you are on the right road.

Salvation is being on the right road, not having reached a destination.

Oh, we have to finally face the point that there is none good but the father. But if you are on the right road, God has the power, and he has something called Grace. And he puts you where you ought to be.
