Saved
Your Past, Present, and Future Rescue The word "saved" gets used a lot in church. But what does it really mean to be saved? In this series, we look at how salvation works. It's not just something that happened to us in the past. It's something God is doing in us right now, and something he will finish one day. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
