Bible Note: Robert; Thank you for you response. I agree with your statements and just want to add to what you stated so well, that you may be able to understand my thoughts on this. You stated; "he saves us daily as we walk with Him" I say amen Jerry Bridges in his wonderful book made the following comment. "God has made it posible for us to walk in holiness. But He has given us the responsibility of doing the walking." Scripture says: Gal. 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT. Concerning the three-fold aspect of salvation which you touched upon I also agree, just my wording is a bit different as you will see as I now post it. Salvation is in 3 tenses. Justification (We have been saved - past tense) from the penalty of sin. Sanctification (We are being saved - present tense) from the power of sin. (and to get into another discussion of positional and on-going sanctification is a whole other topic that I won't go into detail about at this time Glorification (We yet shall be saved - future tense) from the presence of sin. In Christ zach† |
