Romans 1:16

salvation

The Hebrew, and (Greek, "sōtēria", meaning "safety", "preservation", "healing", and "soundness"). Salvation is the great inclusive word of the Gospel, gathering into itself all the redemptive acts and processes: as justification, redemption, grace, propitiation, imputation, forgiveness, sanctification, and glorification. Salvation is in three tenses:

(1) The believer has been saved from the guilt and penalty of sin (Luke 7:50); (1 Corinthians 1:18); (2 Corinthians 2:15); (Ephesians 2:5); (Ephesians 2:8); (2 Timothy 1:9) and is safe.

(2) the believer is being saved from the habit and dominion of sin (Romans 6:14); (Philippians 1:19); (Philippians 2:12); (Philippians 2:13); (2 Thessalonians 2:13); (Romans 8:2); (Galatians 2:19); (Galatians 2:20); (2 Corinthians 3:18).

(3) The believer is to be saved in the sense of entire conformity to Christ. (Romans 13:11); (Hebrews 10:36); (1 Peter 1:5); (1 John 3:2).

Salvation is by grace through faith, is a free gift, and wholly without works; (Romans 3:27); (Romans 3:28); (Romans 4:1); (Romans 6:23); (Ephesians 2:8).

The divine order is:

first, salvation,

then, works; (Ephesians 2:9); (Ephesians 2:10); (Titus 3:5).
