When a person is saved from drowning three aspects of rescue must be observed. First, the person is taken out of the water; second, the rescuer removes the water from the person’s lungs. If this is successful, the third stage is making sure that the rescued person is properly cared for until he is whole. In a real sense, this is a picture of the scope of God's salvation for us. When God saves a person He delivers him or her from: 1. Past Sins—"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" (Ephes. 2:8). Here is salvation from the penalty of sin. All men and women outside of Christ are under God's condemnation (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23). In view of this, man has no hope apart from God's salvation, which reaches into his past and delivers him from the penalty of all that he has incurred. Do you know what it is to be saved from your past, with all its guilt, fear and shame? 2. Present Sins—" … the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (1 Cor. 1:18). God saves a man not only from his past, but also in the present. Paul puts this beautifully in Romans 5:10—" … if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life." The glorious experience of the believer is that he is being saved moment by moment, by the power of an indwelling Christ. This constitutes salvation from the power and dominion of sin. 3. Future Sins—" … Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation" (Hebrews 9:28). This looks on to the final redemption of the believer when he shall be saved from the presence of sin, admitted to heaven and glorified in the presence of his Lord. This is "the blessed hope" of every genuine Christian (Titus 2:13).
