Learning From the Corinthians (Part 27) | On Spiritual Short-sightedness | 1 Corinthians 15:1-2
Apostle Paul speaks of salvation in three tenses: past, present, and future. We were saved from the penalty, parentage, and power of sin; we are being saved from the practice of sin; and we will be saved from the presence of sin.
The means by which we were saved is the same means by which we are being saved — the gospel. So, God preserves us to the end by reminding us of the truth of the gospel because we're prone to forget, a condition Apostle Peter calls short-sightedness.
Those who are short-sighted because of suffering and pain must fix their gaze on Christ, looking beyond what is temporal to what is eternal. And those who are short-sighted because of riches and pleasure should put their hope in Christ, who alone can save from the wrath to come.
