We are saved from an inevitable doom because of Christ. The process of deliverance from the effects of sin . Even though we are immediately delivered from the judgment we deserve, the effects of sin will cling to us for a lifetime. This is why salvation sometimes refers to the life-long process of spiritual growth. The promises God gives us in the Bible that he will never reject us .
