The Three Tenses of Salvation

Song: Love One Another

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

1. Past - Justification - "And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but your were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:11).

2. Present - Sanctification - "Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2 Corinthians 7:1).

3. Future - Glorification - "...who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself" (Philippians 3:21).
