God's desire is for us to be close to him, for us to be part of God's family, his children, for us to be part of him here on earth and for eternity.

O Jehovah, you have examined me and known me.
You have known my sitting and my rising;
You have understood my thoughts from afar.
You have scrutinized my walk and my rest,
And all my ways are known to you.
Well, the word is not yet on my tongue,
And behold, O Jehovah, you know it all.
Behind and before you surrounded me,
And you laid your hand on me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It's tall, I can't understand it.
Where will I go from your Spirit?
And where will I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, there you are;
And if I make my footstool in Sheol, behold, there you are.
If I take the wings of the dawn
And I will dwell at the end of the sea,
Even there your hand will guide me,
And your right hand will take hold of me.
If I say: Surely darkness will cover me;
Even the night will shine around me.
Even the darkness does not cover you,
And the night shines like the day;
The darkness and the light are the same to you.

Psalms 139:1-12

God is the creator of the heavens and the earth, God has created us and always chooses us, his purpose is to save us for eternity to always be with him, and he still desires that while we live here on earth we have a close relationship with him, how do we get to that?
Just as God has demonstrated not only the love he had for humanity, he has also shown a commitment when he gave the life of his son Jesus Christ as a ransom for us, he has also demonstrated commitment when he sent his Holy Spirit to That he guides us in the midst of our life here on earth, shows his commitment in his promises, that he will fulfill absolutely everything. This is a clear example that we also need commitment to develop a much closer relationship with God.
God also has clear communication with us through his word, he wants the same from us, to relate and have a close bond it is important that we express our thoughts and feelings, God will listen and be attentive to each one of our words. God speaks to us at all times, shows us who he is and exposes absolutely all of his plans to us through his word, just as he is also extremely ready to listen to everything we have to say to him.

You have heard the desire of the humble, O Jehovah;
You prepare his heart, and make your ear attentive,

Psalms 10:17

God also speaks to us with total openness about what our nature and our condition is, at the same time he shows us what the solution is, Jesus Christ encourages us and gives us all the resources through the word to remain firm in this hope in which we have believed. That is why our responsibility is also to be totally sincere with our actions, emotions and thoughts about God.
When we talk about salvation we are not talking about the goal, this is simply the first step to living a full life in Christ starting here on earth.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16
