Salvation

What is salvation? 

Salvation is the deliverance from danger and suffering. 

What are we saved from? 

Our sin separates us from a Holy God (Romans 3:23) and the consequence of

our sin is death (Romans 6:23). Salvation is that which saves us from the just

wrath of God upon sin in this world (Romans 5:9). 

Who does the saving work? 

Only God has the true power to offer salvation and deliver us from the

penalty of sin (2 Timothy 1:9). Salvation is not based on our good works but

by God's grace alone (Titus 3:5); therefore, we cannot save ourselves. 

How does God save? 

God offers us salvation through His Son Jesus Christ (John 3:17). God sent Jesus into the world to die on the cross to shed His own blood for our sin (Ephesians 1:7) and was resurrected to achieve our salvation. The Bible is very clear that salvation is based upon God's grace alone and is an undeserved gift from God (Ephesians 2:5;8). 

How do we receive God's salvation? 

Salvation is received by those who put their faith in God's Son, Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12). Salvation can come in no other way (John 14:6) but by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). We must hear the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:13), then believe upon the Lord Jesus (Romans 1:16). This involves repentance, a turning away from sin.
