Salvation is not about how fast you learn in school, or how many bible verses you can recite in rote, or how much money you stashed in your bank accounts. It is about how far you stay in the Lord's side, in the best and worst periods of your life, without betraying him in order to satisfy your passions and ambitions.
Most people believe that once people gain their freedom from oppressors, they became free. History shows that's not necessarily true. Our oppressors are not outside us but within us--pride, fear, covetousness... These sinful vices keep people in bondage using chains that no amount of uprising can break.
