Mike Erre and Tim Stafford conclude their deep dive into the concept of 'saved' by exploring how salvation is a story about time and space. They unpack the Jewish understanding of the present age and the age to come, discuss the 'already but not yet' nature of the Kingdom of God, and explain how living in the intersection of these ages affects our understanding of salvation and Christian life. They also address listener feedback on previous episodes and reflect on the practical implications of viewing salvation as the intersection of the ages.

Key Takeaways:

• Salvation as a Story of Time and Space – Understanding how 'saved' involves the overlap of the present age and the age to come.
• The 'Already but Not Yet' Kingdom – Exploring the paradox of the Kingdom of God being both present and future, and how this shapes our Christian experience.
• Living in the Intersection of Ages – Discussing how the overlap of the ages explains conflicting experiences in Christian life and informs our participation in God's mission.
• Practical Implications – Addressing how this understanding helps us navigate triumphalism and defeatism, and encourages us to live as new creation people.
