Salvation comes in three tenses


We are a three-part being consisting of a spirit, a soul, and a body.


Genesis 2:7
 ~And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground [BODY], and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [SPIRIT]; and man became a living SOUL.

All aspects of a man need to be saved/delivered

1 Thessalonians 5:23
~And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The SOUL from the Penalty of sin;
The SPIRIT from the Power of sin; and
The BODY from the Presence of sin.

2 Corinthians 1:10
~[Christ] Who delivered us [our SOUL] from so great a death, and doth deliver [our SPIRIT, i.e., thinking with transformed, renewed mind]: in whom we trust that he will YET deliver us [our BODY];

For more understanding on the three aspects of salvation, consider this ~3-minute teaching by bro Ron Knight.
