“Today, as we stand on the brink of the day in which we celebrate this most auspicious historical event; before our very eyes an unrepentant world sends yet again the very same message to this infant. There is no room in my inn for you. All of my space is occupied, even my feeding trough. I cannot afford to allow you any room. My life is filled with the abundance of things; there is no place for you. My schedule is filled with the affairs of this world; there is no time for you. My mind is filled with self-centered ambitions; there is no space for you. My heart is filled with gaiety and gain, anxiety and pain; I tell you there is no room for you in my inn.” (Volume 22, Page 3)
“Hunter observes, ‘When Paul thought about Christian salvation, he saw it as a word with three tenses: a past event, a present experience, and a future hope.’” (Volume 22, Page 28)
“Paul’s concept of the three tenses of salvation has many implications for the lives of believers” (Volume 22, Page 35)

“In the present, believers receive certain benefits as a result of their accomplished salvation” (Volume 22, Page 30)
