Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Just as every other gifts, salvation is a gift from God and it is of necessity to understand the usefulness of it. There are two things this gift is aimed at achieving in a man's life: one, restoration of the GOD life, two, establishment of GOD’S throne on Earth.
The later will only be possible if the former is available. Besides, without a life there cannot be a Kingdom or throne. The goal is that GOD, through man will live on earth and establish HIS eternal Kingdom and reign as the FATHER of existence in all ages and time. Unfortunately man fell, and there arose a need for the restoration of the lost life and glory.
Salvation opens our eyes to the reality of sin in/on us and the greater reality of the power of JESUS through the blood to forgive and kill sin. This is a basic reason the devil goes for the spiritual eyes to blindfold it from seeing the wrong in sin and the need for a Savior.
A man whose sin has been forgiven receives a kind of life that makes him/her love GOD and love HIM enough to enthrone HIM in his/her heart/life and then upon the earth because the essence of living is that GOD is enthroned on earth
The gift of Salvation is obtained by Faith sustained by love and impacted by love
