What is Real Salvation?

In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He (Jesus) was in the beginning with God. ALL things were made through Him (Jesus), and without Him was NOT anything made that was made. In Him (Jesus) was Life (Holy Spirit), and the Life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:1-5

O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh faints for You, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1

In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Psalm 56:4

And after my skin has thus been destroyed, yet without my flesh I shall see God.
Job 19:26

And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
Ezekiel 36:27

But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, who were not born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:12-13

When you are truly saved, not just so you can't go to hell (that is a motive of fear of the flesh), and not just because a man says you must (that's legalism), but when you are truly, you are born of God! You are NEW. Like it says in Ezekiel 36, only when you receive His Spirit, is it a lifestyle change. You aren't following Him and "rules" because you feel like you have to, but because you want to.

For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
Romans 7:5-6


Once we are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, we have died from our flesh, like it says right here! We are now ruled by the Spirit and not the flesh! (Ez 36:27) And so like it says in Psalm 56:4, What can flesh do to me? It has no power over us anymore because we were bought at a price and no longer belong to ourselves(our flesh) but to Jesus Christ! (1 Cor 6:19-20) So don't give your flesh power over you when God has given you the power to defeat it!

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
Romans 13:14

[ 1 Cor 5:5 - destruction of flesh]

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh!
Galatians 5:16


In Ephesians 6:12, it says we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, because when we became saved and have His Spirit in us, we should automatically have power over the flesh. But we wage war against satan and his craft workers and with the Spirit we have power to defeat them! In 1 Peter 2:11 it says that the flesh wages was, but we don't wage war against it. If we walk in the Spirit, like in Rom 13:14, we make no room for flesh in our lives even if it is warring against us trying to make room for itself.
