A word from the Word:
'Salvation'

Salvation -- noun -- The root idea in salvation is deliverance from danger or evil.

Specifically, salvation involves (1) the whole process by which people are delivered from all that interferes with the enjoyment of God's blessings; and, (2) the actual enjoyment of those blessings.

The central theme of the New Testament is that salvation is freely given to all who turn from their sin and put their hope in Jesus Christ.

Through His perfect life, suffering, death, and resurrection, Jesus has done everything necessary to deliver people from bondage to sin and from the fear of death.

The salvation Jesus Christ brings is not merely deliverance from future punishment, but also from sin as a present power (see Rom. 6).

Indeed, the Bible declares that salvation in Christ provides a solution for the entire problem of sin, in all its many aspects.
