When does salvation occur according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is established eternally, occurs in time, and will be fully realized in the eschaton.

The Bible delineates a comprehensive view of when salvation occurs. First, it is acknowledged as fully established in eternity, as seen in 2 Timothy 1:9, which states that God saved and called us before the world began. Secondly, salvation is manifested in time, highlighted in the accounts of individuals like Zacchaeus, who experienced salvation through Jesus in the present moment (Luke 19:9). Finally, the fullness of salvation will be completed in the future, as acknowledged during the final judgment when the faithful will inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world (Matthew 25:34).
