Present Tense Of God's Salvation
2. Present tense of God's Salvation
Salvation from the reigning power of sin.
Romans 6:14 For sin
shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under
grace.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under
grace? God forbid.
Romans 8:1 ¶ There
is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who
walk not after
the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.
2 Co 3:18 But we all,
with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed
into the same
image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Gal 2:19 For I through
the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved
me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the
law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Php 2:12 ¶ Wherefore,
my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now
much more
in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good
pleasure.
Who worketh in You?
2 Th 2:13 ¶ But
we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the
Lord, because God
hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification
of the Spirit and belief of the
truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have
been taught, whether by word,
or our epistle.
16 ¶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father,
which hath loved us, and hath given
us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
3. Future Tense.
Says that the believer will yet be saved into full conformity to Christ.
The fact
Some aspects of Salvation yet to be accomplished for the believers, does
not imply that there is
ground for doubt as to completion
to the uttermost. For it not taught anywhere that any feature of Salvation
depends upon the faithfulness
of man. God is Faithful and , having begun a good work, will perform it
until the
day of Jesus Christ
Php 1:6 Being confident
of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform
it until
the day of Jesus Christ:
7 ¶ Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I
have you in my heart; inasmuch as both
in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye
all are partakers of my grace.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels
of Jesus Christ.
Bonds was in Prison.
Romans 8:29 ¶
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the

called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven

Here is that pesky Incorruptible Thing
Here is that pesky Faith Thing.

divers miracles, and gifts of the
