THE SCOPE OF SALVATION

Salvation is in three tenses.  I have been saved from the penalty of sin, I am being saved from the power of sin, and I will be saved from the presence of sin. All of these dimensions of deliverance are described in Titus 2:11-14:

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

There is justification that has been provided, "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men" (v.11).  Jesus came to give us grace. 

There is sanctification as we are purified,  "teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age" (v.12); "our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works" (v.13b-14).  Jesus is in us to make us godly.

There is glorification that has been promised, "looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ" (v.13).  Jesus is returning to bring us glory.

I think that covers it all!
