Full Salvation in Christ

Full salvation is past, present, and future. That is to say, in Christ we have been saved; in Christ we are being saved; in Christ we shall be saved. Three terms describe our full salvation in Christ: justified, sanctified, and glorified.

In Christ we have been saved. That is our justification by faith in Jesus Christ. In Christ believers are being saved, growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). That is our sanctification. In Christ believers shall be saved. That is our glorification, when Christ returns. In essence, believers shall be like him (1 John 3:2).

Full salvation is justification, sanctification, and glorification. It's by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ is every believer's full salvation. In Christ believers are justified and free from all condemnation. In Christ believers are being sanctified until glorified. In Christ believers shall be glorified into his likeness, when he appears.

Full salvation is from beginning unto completion in Christ. "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6). In Christ you have been justified (Romans 5:1). In Christ we are being sanctified (1 Corinthians 1:2). In Christ we shall be glorified (1 John 3:2).
