The experience of salvation means that
in your actual life things are really altered,
you no longer look at things as you used to;
your desires are new,
old things have lost their power.
If you are born again, the Spirit of God makes the alteration evident in your actual life and reasoning, and when the crisis comes you are the most amazed person on earth at the wonderful difference there is in you. There is no possibility of imagining that you did it. It is this complete and amazing alteration that is the evidence that you are a saved soul.
The salvation that is worked out in me by the Holy Ghost releases me entirely, and as long as I walk in the light as God is in the light, He sees nothing to censure because His life is working out in every particular, not to my consciousness, but deeper than my consciousness.
2 Corinthians 5:17
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature;
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
