The two aspects of God’s complete salvation

“For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having being reconciled” — Romans 5:10

The complete salvation of God has two aspects — the judicial and the organic. The following parallel table contrasts these two.
