What part of a believer still needs to be consummated if the soul and spirit are already saved?
The body is the part of the believer still awaiting consummation. Since the soul and spirit are totally redeemed and have experienced absolute salvation, what remains to be consummated is the body. Scripture also describes believers groaning within themselves as they wait for the adoption.
Les explains that when believers go into the eternal state, they will have to be body, soul, and spirit. If the soul and spirit are totally redeemed and have experienced absolute salvation, then the body is what is waiting to be consummated. He then directs attention to Romans chapter 8, verses 22 and 23, where the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now, and believers who have the firstfruits of the Spirit also groan within themselves, waiting for the adoption.
