Welcome back to this new week on the podcast.

Well, the Bible says Christians have been saved in the past.

We have been saved.

And it says we will be saved in the future.

And it says we are being saved right now, being saved.

We're going to look at that last one, the present tense one, today in a question from

a listener named Jessica.

Hello, Pastor John.

Thank you for answering so many questions on this podcast.

Here's mine.

I recently read first Corinthians 118 with new eyes.

I noticed that the word saved in my King James version is translated as being saved in many

other modern translations.

I've heard this explained by teachers with the following rationale for being saved.

Number one, we were eternally saved from judgment of our sin as Jesus paid it all on the

cross past tense.

Number two, we are presently being saved from behaving synthily by walking in the spirit.

And number three, we will be saved from a world filled with sin after our life on earth

is over and we are given our glorified bodies.

The church mainly addresses the fact that we have been saved past tense.

But can you explain to me the second one and first Corinthians 118 that we are being saved

right now?
