08/18/10 SENIOR MEETING... SALVATION, THEN AND NOW
Was salvation in the Bible days the same as today?
How does anyone enter kingdom of God, enter heaven?
How does anyone escape the wrath to come?
How does anyone become saved?
The answer is the same today as it was in Bible days.
Trust Jesus, constantly, consistently and continuously.
Bible salvation has three aspects.
Past (I was saved)
Present (I am being saved)
Future (I shall be saved).
I gave an illustration.
A lost sailor is rescued and says, I was saved.
While on-board the rescue vessel during the storm the sailor says I am being saved.
As the sailor anticipates reaching harbor the safety of land, he ssys I shall be saved.
