2 Timothy 2:1-27 Romans. 5:1 Grace: ‘charis’....unmerited favor, undeserved blessing, a free gift Be a Vessel of Grace and Honor….Refuse to leave the Ice! Bible uses 3 tenses of Salvation: (Past) “Have been Saved” - Eph. 2:8-9 (Present) “Are being Saved” - 1 Cor. 1:18 (Future) “Shall be Saved” - Rom. 5:9 Justification - is the instantaneous act of God whereby He forgives the sinner of all sins and declares him perfectly righteous in His sight. Justification before a holy God is possible solely on the basis that Christ has taken on(borne) every sin committed by the sinner. Sanctification - is both a position (1 Cor. 6:11) and a process (Heb. 10:14) where the believer moves from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity over time as he/she learns God’s word and makes a choice to be obedient to God’s will Glorification is the final phase of the believers salvation experience. It occurs when he/ she leaves this world either by death or by rapture and enters into the presence of God in heaven.
