Salvation Is In Three Tenses.
Total Visits: 926Salvation Is By Grace Through Faith
The Christian has been saved eternally by God’s grace when he/she believes in their hearts by faith and confessed with their mouths that Jesus Christ is their Lord and savior through Jesus’s death on the cross which was the propitiation, or if you will, the full payment for all man’s sins (past, present, future) and believes that God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day after crucifixion and now sits at the right hand of God Almighty in heaven. This same Jesus will return for us that we shall spend eternity in worship and fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. With the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he/she confesses, resulting in salvation. This salvation is is a free gift and is wholly not by works. The divine order is first salvation, then works.

[16] But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. [17] So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

[22] For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, [23] but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
