Salvation is presented in the Bible as a present reality, not just a future hope, grounded in Christ's work.
The Bible makes it clear that salvation is not something we earn through our works or have to wait to attain; rather, it is a present reality for believers. In 1 Timothy 4:10, Paul asserts that believers labor because they trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, particularly those who believe. This underscores the truth that salvation is granted through God’s grace and is secured by Christ’s atoning work. Furthermore, Isaiah 46:12-13 reveals that God's righteousness comes near to His people, emphasizing that salvation is rooted in Christ’s fulfilled work and is freely given to His elect, now evident in our lives.
