Three Parts of Salvation

The Three Parts of Salvation

Pastor Kara Diaz

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

Pastor Kara shared a powerful reminder that salvation is not just a moment—it’s a journey that unfolds in three parts: spirit, soul, and body.


1. Spirit (Past)
The moment we receive Jesus, our spirit is made alive. We are fully forgiven, made righteous, and given a new identity as children of God. We are no longer defined by sin, but by who He says we are.


2. Soul (Present)
While our spirit is instantly transformed, our mind, will, and emotions are being renewed daily. As we align our thoughts with God’s truth, we begin to live differently—free from striving, people-pleasing, and old patterns.

As Pastor Kara shared, “Just because you find trash in the house doesn’t mean the house is trash.”


We don’t condemn ourselves—we simply remove what doesn’t belong and keep becoming who God says we are.


3. Body (Future)
One day, we will see Jesus face to face, and our earthly bodies will be made new. What a hope we have!

Salvation is complete in Christ—but we grow into it as we renew our minds and live from our true identity: righteous, accepted, and deeply loved.

Una de las mayores bendiciones que Dios nos da en cada temporada de la vida es la oportunidad de conocerlo más profundamente. El Pastor Ben nos recordó que cada nueva situación que enfrentamos es una invitación para descubrir un aspecto más de la naturaleza de Dios. Cuando surgen desafíos, podemos hacer esta pregunta: "Señor, ¿qué aspecto de Tu naturaleza necesito que intervenga en mi vida en este momento?"  La Biblia revela más de 200 nombres y títulos para Dios, Jesús y el Espíritu Santo. Esta semana exploramos cuatro de ellos y descubrimos cómo apuntan a Jesús, cómo encuentran su cumplimiento en Él y cómo ahora nosotros estamos llamados a reflejar Su naturaleza al mundo que nos rodea.

One of the greatest gifts God gives us in every season is the opportunity to know Him more deeply. Pastor Ben reminded us that every new situation we face is an invitation to discover another aspect of God's nature. When challenges arise, we can ask: "Lord, what part of Your nature do I need to come intervene in my life right now?"  Scripture reveals more than 200 names and titles for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This week we explored four of those names and discovered how they point us to Jesus, how they are fulfilled in Him, and how we are now called to carry His nature into the world around us.

Una de las invitaciones más hermosas de las Escrituras no es simplemente creer en Dios, sino conocerlo. Este domingo, el Pastor Ben nos recordó que la confianza no es algo que producimos por esfuerzo propio. La confianza crece naturalmente a través de la relación. Mientras más conocemos a Dios, más aprendemos a confiar en Él.

Do you know God personally? It's a question worth slowing down to consider. In a culture where information is abundant, it's possible to know a lot about God without actually knowing Him. We can quote Scriptures, attend church, listen to sermons, and participate in ministry activities, yet still miss the relationship God has always desired.

El cristianismo no se trata simplemente de conocer datos acerca de Dios, sino de tener una relación con Él. Las palabras de Jesús en Mateo 7 nos recuerdan que la actividad religiosa por sí sola no es la meta. Dios desea que realmente lo conozcamos y que ayudemos a otros a conocerlo también.

Clint went into detail about what the fire of the Holy Spirit is really for. Many people may think it is only about speaking in tongues, but it is so much more than that. He gave the illustration of carrying around your cell phone for a year, thinking you know everything it can do, and then suddenly someone shows you a feature you never knew existed. Clint showed us some additional features of the Holy Spirit!

Nacido en Irán y criado en el Islam, Mohamad fue entrenado para entregar su vida por su fe. Todo cambió cuando un amigo arriesgó todo para compartirle el evangelio. Por primera vez entendió que no tenía que ganarse la aceptación a través del sacrificio, Jesús ya lo había hecho todo por él.

Este domingo, la Pastora Kara compartió un poderoso mensaje acerca de la realidad de dos reinos opuestos: el Reino de la Luz y el reino de las tinieblas. A través de un recorrido por las Escrituras, desde Génesis hasta el Nuevo Testamento, nos mostró el corazón de Dios para Su pueblo y la estrategia constante del enemigo para engañarlo.
