We must hope to be saved since we are not saved yet – it is something we must wait for with patience.
Rms.8:24,25
For the believer, salvation is assured but not yet received.
When does Saint Paul say that salvation actually occurs? "When our bodies are set free" Rms.8:23.
This points forward to the Christian hope of resurrection and receiving a restored, glorified body free from pain and mortality.
My glorified body has the final say. What a wonderful hope to carry into my day, whatever it brings.
So, when I'm asked, "Are you saved brother?" My confident answer is, "Not yet, but I have every hope to be."
Thank you Jesus for your wonderful promise of salvation. I place my trust in you.
Saint Teresa of Ávila, please pray for us.
