When is a Sinner Saved?<\/p>\n
Men have debated this questions for millenniums. Most of the controversy stems from man\u2019s effort to reconcile the temporal to the eternal. Living in a world of time and space, he tries to define the when in this question as a single event! Scripture settles all controversies. So, what sayeth the scriptures?
\n1. God\u2019s elect were saved in the covenant of grace established by God in eternity past. II Timothy 1:9; Is. 45:17; II Thes. 2:13.
\n2. God\u2019s elect were saved when Christ bore their sins on Calvary\u2019s Cross 2000 years ago. Rom 5:9-10; Jer. 23:6.
\n3. God\u2019s elect are saved when they hear the gospel as the gospel and are made willing to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Titus 3:5; Eph 2:8; Rom. 10:9-13.
\n4. God\u2019s elect are continuing to be saved as they are kept by the power of God to keep coming in faith to Christ. Is. 64:5; I Peter 2:4.
\n5. God\u2019s elect will be saved when they are taken to glory to see their Savior face to face and be made like Him (sinless). Rev.12:10; II Peter 3:12-15; I Peter 1:9.
\nAll five of these glorious truths (Election, Redemption, Regeneration, Sanctification and Glorification) are necessary for a sinner\u2019s salvation. Let others speak of when they \u201cgot saved\u201d. We don\u2019t hang the hopes of our salvation on one subjective experience in time. Our faith is in Him who does all the saving. We have been saved; we are being saved; and we shall be saved. \u201cAnd being made perfect He became the author of ETERNAL SALVATION unto all them that obey Him.\u201d Heb 5:9. -Greg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
