PostPosted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 8:13 pm    Post subject: Salvation and eternal life

What is the difference between being saved from our past sins and the hope for eternal salvation? Are they one in the same? Some say that one can receive forgiveness of sins yet it is not the same as receiving the blessing of eternal life. The eternal life is HOPED for , not yet received. If we receive it now then it is not hoped for. I have no real understanding of this yet, I need to study it for my self. I hope I can get some thoughts from you guys.

Thanks Jeffrey
