What does it mean to have common salvation?

Common salvation, as mentioned in Jude 1:3, speaks to the shared experience of all believers who have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. While individual experiences of grace may vary, all believers partake in the same salvation that is a result of Christ's atoning work. This unity emphasizes that we are part of a larger family of God, with a common hope and inheritance. Understanding common salvation also guards against the temptation to judge the validity of someone’s experience based solely on our own; each sinner’s journey to the Savior reflects God’s sovereign grace uniquely at work in their lives.
