How do we know that salvation is an ongoing process?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is both a past event and an ongoing process, as highlighted in Romans 13:11.

Salvation is depicted in Scripture as a comprehensive concept involving past, present, and future aspects. Romans 13:11 reminds us that 'now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.' This implies that while believers have already been saved from the penalty of sin through Christ's sacrifice, they are still in the process of being saved from sin's power in daily life and ultimately from its presence in the future. This understanding encourages believers to remain vigilant and faithful, recognizing that receiving Christ's grace is not just a past event but a continuous need in our daily walk. Thus, true assurance comes from acknowledging our ongoing reliance on Christ for sanctification and final salvation.
