ACIM Workbook For Students What is Salvation? Salvation is a promise, made by God, that you would find your way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that time will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time will end as well. God's Word is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts, and will replace these thoughts of conflict with the Thought of peace.

The grass is pushing through the soil, the trees are budding now, and birds have come to live within their branches.
Night
has gone, and we have come together in the light. From

salvation was received.
The song of our rejoicing is the call to all the world that freedom has returned, that time is almost over, and God's Son has but an instant more to wait until...
