1 | What do you think of 1 Cor 1:18? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 15552 | ||
Greetings Bill! I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I did a quick look at how Paul uses the word "save" throughout 1 and 2 Corinthians, but there doesn't seem to be any specific pattern. Sometimes he uses aorist (past tense), sometimes he uses future, and sometimes he uses present. Personally, I view salvation is a similar way to you. It includes regeneration (past), santification (present), and glorification (future). So, Paul may simply use different tenses depending upon how he is looking at salvation. In 1 Cor. 1:18 and 15:2, it may simply be that since we are living, we are being saved. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | What do you think of 1 Cor 1:18? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 15556 | ||
Tim: As happens more often than not, we are in agreement. (Actually I am in agreement with more than 90 percent of your postings.) Our salvation is past, present and future. We were saved from the penalty of sin, we are being saved from the power of sin, and we shall be saved from the presence of sin. |

3 | What do you think of 1 Cor 1:18? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 15559 | ||
Greetings Kalos! If you agree with me that often, I would be worried if I were you! ;-) I recently preached a sermon on 1 Pet. 1:3-9 that focused on these three aspects. To paraphrase Peter slightly: 1) We were given new birth (Past). 2) We are being guarded (Present). 3) We will receive an inheritance (Future). It is great to know that our salvation is not only accomplished in Christ at the cross, but has ongoing relevance to our lives today, and there is still more to come! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
