Salvation of any kind is not for any one who does not personally interact inwardly with scripture. Every other gospel is an insufficient or front-loaded gospel.
The key to the free grace gospel debate, and the key to salvation and reigning in joy with Christ is caught up in one truth: Man needs God.
The only consistent and genuine thing about man is that he has needs. With these God makes transactions of His life in us.The key to the free grace gospel debate, and the key to salvation and reigning in joy with Christ is caught up in one truth: Man needs God.
I humbly introduce a multi-part series of the best I can do to share scriptures which point to a comprehensive and fair Content of Saving Faith interpretation of the gospel message.

"...the New Jerusalem (characterized as being clad with precious materials) is contextually in proximity to the offer of drinking from the fountain of Living Water..."
Great stuff . . .
This is precisely the imagery that your quote from Zech 8:20-23 was headed for: it is in Zech 12-14, as I argued in last post of the Gospel in 3-D series, where the same
"fountain" that initially cleansed the remnant of Israel (13:1) becomes rivers of "living water" that flow from Jerusalem (where Messiah is installed as King) to irrigate...the gentile nations...(14:7-9)...so they can bring in their grapes to make wine at the King's winepresses (14:10)!
This is nothing less than Kingdom "river ecclesiology/evangelism" in the millennium, where the "evangelized" nations bring grapes to the King. It's simply a "bigger" salvation than just a change in ontological status.
