Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 15, 2024

Salvation - In Three Tenses

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 16, 2024

Salvation is to be experienced by us in three tenses- past, present and future. We have been saved from the penalty of sin. Now we must be saved from the power of sin. Then finally, we will be saved from the very presence of sin.

But if we believe a half truth, there is a possibility that we would never come to the full truth. Gospel is the gospel of God. It doesn’t need any human touch on it. It ...read more
