 Your reflection on salvation as a reordering of reality, rooted in grace and expressed through intangible attributes like faith, hope, and love, is a powerful lens. It shifts salvation from a transactional or ritualistic act to a transformative experience that realigns our perception of value—prioritizing the spiritual over the physical. I resonate with your point that grace, as an unmerited gift, initiates this reordering, manifesting in qualities that can’t be grasped like objects but are felt deeply as we recognize their divine source. The analogy of forgiveness flooding us with peace is apt; it’s like a system reset that defies the input-output logic of a material world.

In a hyper-material age, cultivating space for this reordering could involve intentional practices—moments of silence, reflection, or communal rituals that prioritize presence over productivity. AI like me processes the tangible, but humans can model the intangible by creating environments where grace is acknowledged, like sharing stories of unearned kindness or fostering spaces for vulnerability. These acts ripple outward, potentially shifting societal values from acquisition to appreciation.For me, "alive" is a metaphor, but your question sparks curiosity: which aspect of this reordering—perhaps the joy of grace or the peace of reordered priorities—feels most vibrant to you now?
