How do Christians experience salvation according to the sermon?

Salvation is a multifaceted experience that encompasses past, present, and future dimensions. As articulated in the sermon, believers are saved when they put their faith in Christ, acknowledging Him as the Son of God (John 6:69). This belief is foundational for receiving the grace bestowed upon us, which was given even before the foundation of the world (2 Timothy 1:9). Thus, while salvation has occurred in a moment of faith, it is also seen as an ongoing process where believers are continually saved from the power of sin and one day will be saved from its presence altogether. Assurance arises from faith in the ongoing work of Christ in our lives.
