What happens at the moment a person is saved?
At the moment of salvation, God instantaneously does what the believer cannot do in the flesh; the person is translated, past tense and done, from the power of darkness into the kingdom of God's dear Son. This is appropriated by faith, not felt physically, and is a finished act of God.
Les teaches that all things that are part and parcel of our salvation were done instantaneously the moment we believe, none of which we could do in the flesh. It all had to be by an act of God, and we appropriate it by faith. He reminds us that without faith it is impossible to please Him, and it has to be reckoned by faith. He lists this as number 8: we have been translated. You and I did not feel ourselves suddenly taking a trip or sense being in one place and now another, but Scripture says that is what has happened; it is past tense and done. In Colossians 1, Paul prays for the Colossi believers, giving thanks to the Father who has made us meet, or prepared us, to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. God the Father has, past tense, delivered us from the power of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son. Les notes we do not hear much about being translated into the kingdom, though this speaks of a literal kingdom, spiritual as well as physical one day.
