Are we saved, being saved, or yet to be saved completely?

Yes! While much of modern protestant Christianity seems to focus on being saved as a singular event, the scriptures provide a more holistic view. The Greek verb form of being saved is used as a continuous act, indicating that salvation is ongoing. One only needs to look at Paul's letter to the Corinthian or Galatian church to realize that we all have sin that God has to continuously deliver us out of. Don't get me wrong, the moment we place are faith in Jesus, we were declared justified before God in Christ, but that is but the beginning of a glorious journey.

Additionally, in my research on healing in the Bible, I came across the Greek word σῴζω (sōzō). Interestingly enough, this word is translated as both “saved” and “healed.” I had always considered being saved as a spiritual deliverance from sin, but from the Biblical perspective, salvation is redemption of both spirit and body. In fact, many Christians believe that we are composed of body, soul and spirit, all of which needs redemption. I've personally not studied this out, so I can't comment too much, beyond acknowledging that salvation is more than a spiritual act of forgiving sin. The forgiveness of sin actually impacts our physical body, because we are physical and spiritual creatures.

Now, if being saved includes healing, it is clear that our salvation is incomplete, for we all die. Romans 8:23-24 clearly deals with this issue, mentioning that we look forward to the day of our “adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.” Interesting! So, as those who have been saved through faith in Christ, receiving the first-fruits of the Spirit, we are looking forward to the day when Jesus finishes what He has begun, completing the adoption process and bringing permanent healing to our bodies.
