这段讲道探讨了圣经中“救赎”一词的含义及其在基督教信仰中的三个时态：过去时、现在时和将来时。讲员指出，圣经中“救赎”的含义比教会通常使用的含义更为广泛，它指的是从罪及其一切后果中被拯救出来。罪被定义为与上帝的分离，导致人与宇宙的堕落和瓦解。因此，救赎是一个多阶段的过程，包含三个时态：过去时指从罪的刑罚中被赦免，现在时指从罪的能力中被拯救，这是一个持续的净化和恢复的过程，将来时指从罪的存在中被完全拯救，这将发生在将来。讲员用比喻说明了这三个时态，并强调了对将来荣耀的盼望对基督徒生活的重要性。他指出，这种盼望能使基督徒勇敢无畏，能够做出牺牲，并能更好地面对生活中的苦难和损失。讲员还驳斥了马克思主义关于宗教是人民鸦片的观点，认为对天堂的盼望能激励人们为他人做出牺牲，并能使人积极地面对生活。最后，讲员呼吁听众要学习在今生爱慕神的荣耀，并戴上救赎的盼望的头盔，以勇敢地面对一切挑战。

Shownotes Transcript

In the Bible, salvation is a broader term than what we usually use in the Christian church.

We’re looking at the armor of God, and we turn now to another piece: the helmet of salvation. A lot of churches use the word salvation in the past tense: “I’ve been saved,” or “When were you saved?” If you’re accustomed to this, you might get confused when you see that often in the Bible, the word salvation for Christians is used in the present or future tense. 

Let’s look at: 1) the past tense of salvation, 3) the present tense of salvation, 3) the future tense of salvation, and 4) how to put it on.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 5, 1992. Series: Spiritual Warfare – The Armor of God. Scripture: Ephesians 6:14-18.
