Salvation Is Now
Commentators overwhelmingly emphasize that salvation is not just a future hope but a present reality. The verse uses the present tense “receiving,” indicating that believers currently possess the outcome of their faith. This present possession of salvation is the source of the “unspeakable joy” mentioned in the previous verse, even amidst trials.
