Universalism = Salvation by works?

Ever know something that you need to clean out, so that you can put something into it? Around where I work, people clean out new houses, so that they can be occupied. If you look at my car, you will notice that I need to clean out the passerger spaces before anyone can get inside of it. (what can I say, I'm a slob.) Another good example is the way that we containerize food goods.

We don't want garbage inside our bag of chips, so they make sure that before the chips go in ... there isn't anything in the bag. Same thing goes for canned or jarred goods. We sterilize the jar, then put in the preserves. The cleaning is so that something can come next - the filling.

  1. On the cross, Jesus completed the cleaning.
  2. Salvation is the filling / spiritual birth - the infusion of Divine Life from above - the Seed of the Spirit planted in the heart of man - this is salvation.
(see Romans 5:10)

Salvation is not the transportation of human souls to heaven. Rather, salvation is the transplanting of Divine Life, here in creation - within mankind.
If there is any transportation it is God's voyage to earth, not man's voyage to heaven.
The question is HOW, and to WHOM do we credit for this miracle!
