"Salvation is not a theoretical salvation from some possible future evil, but a present salvation from a present and very real trouble. It is not merely salvation from some danger that threatens, but salvation from ills that have already well-nigh overwhelmed us. “Behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2). It is true that the Gospel reaches out into the future, but only because it saves now, and eternity is only one continual now." --E. J. Waggoner
