What Does Salvation Mean for Me?

This is a lesson that I am doing from a book, I hope you will find it interesting, just as I did:

What I Was:
Ephesians 2:1 - I was spiritually dead in trespasses and sins.
John 3:18 - I was condemned already.
John 3:36 - I had the wrath of God abiding on me.
Romans 6:17 - I was a slave of sin.
Revelation 20:15 - I was headed for the lake of fire.
Luke 19:10 - I was lost, yet sought by Jesus.

What God Promised Me:
Romans 6:23 - The gift of eternal life.
Colossians 1:14 - The forgiveness of sins.
Titus 2:11 - Salvation through His grace.
Ephesians 3:17; John 14:23 - To dwell in my heart.
Ephesians 3:19 - The love of Christ which passeth knowledge.
John 5:11 - The joy of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 4:7 - The peace of God, which passeth all understanding.

What I Did:
Romans 10:13 - I called upon the name of the Lord.
Romans 10:9 - I confessed with my mouth.
John 1:12 - I believed Him (Jesus Christ).
Acts 17:30 - I repented of my sins.

What God Did:
Romans 3:24 - Justified me freely.
Revelation 1:5 - Washed me from my sins.
Revelation 21:27 - Secured my name in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Romans 8:14, 15 - Adopted me as a son (child) of God.
Ephesians 1:6 - Accepted me in the Beloved.
1Corinthians 6:11 - Sanctified me.
2Corinthians 5:17 - Made me a new creation.

Definitions:
Repentance: a change of attitude resulting in a change of action (about sin).
Justification: to be declared "as not guilty."
Sanctification: to be "set apart" by God and for God.
Grace: undeserved (unmerited) favor.
