Jesus Christ is our salvation in justification, regeneration, sanctification, and ultimately glorification. Salvation is the work of God through which we are "conformed to the image of His Son" (Romans 8:29-30). Christ is our salvation in the past, present and future.
Salvation is not by what we do for God, but what he does for us, and what he is doing in us through Christ Jesus our Lord (Philippians 2:13). Salvation is the work of God. That's because it's by God's grace alone in our Lord Jesus Christ. What the Lord begins in us, he will complete (Philippians 1:6).
As sinners, we could never justify ourselves. However, in Christ we are freely justified from all sin. We could never regenerate nor sanctify ourselves. Yet, we are certainly regenerated by the Spirit of God, unto faith in Christ. God's work of salvation is completed, when he glorifies us in that day into the image of Christ (Philippians 1:6).
Salvation is God's work in Christ. Give God all the glory today, tomorrow, and forever! Glory to God the Father, who chose us with love in Christ (Ephesians 1:4-6). Glory to God the Son, who loved us and gave himself for us at the cross. His blood saves us from sin and condemnation. His blood sets us apart as God's people, which is our sanctification. Glory to God the Holy Spirit who regenerated us unto new birth, and shall glorify us into the image of Christ (1 John 3:2).
