But this is a phrase that needs unpacking. First, the\u00a0<em>supposition<\/em>\u00a0of \u2018salvation in Christ\u2019 is the triadic nature of God, since it is predicated on the love of God the Father, is effected through the death and resurrection of Christ the Son, and is made effective through the Spirit of God who is also the Spirit of the Son. Second, the\u00a0<em>goal<\/em>\u00a0of salvation is not simply the saving of individuals and fitting them for heaven, as it were, but the creation of a people for God\u2019s name, reconstituted by a new covenant. Third, the\u00a0<em>framework\u00a0<\/em>of God\u2019s \u2018salvation in Christ\u2019 is thoroughly eschatological, meaning that Christ\u2019s death and resurrection and the gift of the Spirit mark the turning of the ages, whereby God has set in motion the new creation, in which all things eventually will be made new. Fourth, the\u00a0<em>means\u00a0<\/em>of \u2018salvation in Christ\u2019 is Christ\u2019s death on the cross and his subsequent \u00a0resurrection in which death itself has been defeated.
