Concept of Salvation

CONCEPT OF SALVATION Salvation in the Hereafter is for those who have made themselves deserving of salvation in the life before death by their righteous actions. W hat is the greatest issue that should concern a person? It is to attain to salvation in the life to come after death and to have a share in God’s mercy for all eternity. Everyone who is born into this present world has to enter into another world after death. In the present world, a person has all kinds of opportunities to shine while being tested. In the next world, what he will receive will be by way of rewards for his actions. In the world before death he received everything, whether or not he deserved it. But in the world after death, this will no longer be the case. He will receive nothing without having deserved it. At that time, the sole criterion for receiving anything will be merit. In the next world, only those who are held to be deserving will be showered with blessings of all kinds, whereas those who are lacking in merit, will have nothing.
