6 current worship series: Christ In You In Christ We Find Rescue (Rom 5:6-11, 13:11; 2 Cor 6:1-2; 1 Thess 5:1-11; Phil 1:27-28) Christians today generally use the word salvation to speak about the entire scope of the gospel. But for Paul, it was just one facet of several from God s grand story. But even still, the reality of being saved from something treacherous IS a major part of the gospel. For Paul, that treacherous situation for every human is being in the path of God s wrath and judgment. It s never pleasant to think about, but the justice of God does demand a punishment for sin. So when we think about salvation proper, what we are being saved from is eternal judgment and the condemnation that accompanies it. We find this salvation in Jesus, not because God eliminated the punishment, but rather because he shifted it onto his Son.
