one point of salvation is the time when we are 'forgiven' from our 'past-sins' -
if we have 'one sin' against us, we are subject to the penalty of death.
but, Christ, through His sacrifice cleanses us from 'every sin that we have EVER commited'
ROMANS 3:25.
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness
for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
this is ONE meaning of Salvation - we have been forgiven EVERY SIN that was HELD
against us - (((PAST SINS)))
like it is written, "For IF, when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son,
MUCH MORE, being RECONCILED, we SHALL be SAVED by His life."
but yet AGAIN, the scripture says, 'to those whose PAST SINS have been forgiven,
work-out your own salvation with trembling and fear.'
and again,
HEB.9:28.
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him
shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Here, the term 'salvation' is used for Christ's second appearing, and our putting OFF
this corruptible flesh and being resurrected into a Spiritual body - and then again -
1PETER 1:5.
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
the WORD, SALVATION, speaks of TWO DELIVERANCES - (one from PAST SINS, one from,
The Body of this death unto ETERNAL LIFE'
