Here is one definition of salvation:
deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by Christians to be brought about by faith in Christ.
2 Peter 1:3-4(NKJV)
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Is the act of partaking of the divine nature eternal life?
Is eternal life characterized by abiding fellowship with God as some definitions in part indicate or is it something else?
What is salvation and that which we are saved from and that which is our gain? And if you will, is our gain unique to us, that is to say us Christians, or disciples-friends of Jesus, since the incarnation, and we are separate-seperated of the other people of faith before and after the incarnation?
