- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. So this gentleman tells me he lost his salvation.
- 00:18
- That he used to be a Christian and became an un -Christian. And the issue was because he claimed that there were many different ways that the
- 00:26
- Bible talked about salvation and how someone can get saved. And so the first thing we have to address with this is what is salvation?
- 00:33
- Because so many people confuse this issue. Salvation is a very general term that actually has three specific meanings of time.
- 00:44
- We can look at salvation as that point in time that someone gets regenerated. That is when they go from being an enemy of God to being adopted into his family.
- 00:53
- That is a time when they become justified in God's sight and have eternal life. All of those things are for the
- 00:59
- Christian in the past. That is a past one -time event where they become regenerated or justified.
- 01:07
- That is salvation. However, salvation also refers to the process that begins immediately after justification and continues until the moment we die.
- 01:17
- That is the process of sanctification. Sanctification is also referred to as salvation.
- 01:22
- But that is the process we are made more Christ -like. And the Christian continues in that sanctification process until the moment they die.
- 01:31
- The moment they die is the third stage of sanctification, which is future for the Christians living right now.
- 01:37
- And that is glorification. That moment that all the indwelling sin is gone, we're in God's sight, and we are in a glorified state.
- 01:45
- This is the final stage of salvation. All of them are referred to as salvation.
