Thinking Deeper About the Word “Saved”

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett dives into the nuanced biblical usage of the word “saved,” challenging the common assumption that it always refers to regeneration. Exploring the term’s application in both eternal and temporal contexts, he clarifies that while salvation is solely by grace, Scripture sometimes links it with actions like baptism or sound doctrine, which pertain to assurance or deliverance rather than the initial act of being saved.
