Certainly, but not for eternal life again. Our soul is the battleground between our former nature, the flesh and our new nature, our spirit which has been made alive in Christ. Here is where temptation takes place and we need to be saved/rescued from it all the time.
Now, Satan works through the flesh to appeal to our soul and the Holy Spirit works through our spirit to appeal to our soul. So, how are we to be rescued from sin and temptation on a daily basis? We are going to have to walk by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit: “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. “ (Galatians 5:17).
Only by God’s grace through the Spirit can say no to sin and unrighteousness: “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, (Titus 2:11-13) even if we are being persecuted.
There is one last rescue/salvation we actually are waiting for. Can you guess what that might be? It can’t be our spirit; because we’ve been born again unto eternal life. We have possessed it without a break since the moment we came to Christ. It can’t be our soul, either. Our souls are presently being rescued from sin and temptation, as we walk by faith in the Spirit through grace. This is not future, only the present as we live moment by moment.
So is there any rescue/salvation is left in the future?
