For the Justified believer the gospel/good news just keeps getting better and better...Paul emphasizes not that you have been saved, but that you will be saved...we’ll have five points- four doctrinal, one application.
- For a believer, “saved” is future and parallels justification. 9a
- For a believer, we are “saved” by Him, not by us. 9b
- For a believer, we are “saved” from the wrath of God. 9c
- For a believer, “saved” is future & founded upon being reconciled. 10
- For a believer, the saving is Jesus’ job, our principle “to-do” list is
summed up as rejoicing in God. 11
