So What Then is S∆Lvation ?
What does it Mean to Be Saved?
First of all Salvation is the main theme of the scriptures..
Salvation is receiving the life of God.
Salvation is to be born of God, just like being born of the Spirit.
John 3:5 – "Jesus answered, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the spirit.
Salvation is being reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:18 – "All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."
Salvation is being forgiven of all sins.
Salvation is being rescued from eternal separation from God.
Romans 6:23 – "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Salvation is being set free from the power of sin.
Romans 8:2 – "Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death."
Salvation is being justified by faith.
Romans 5:1 – "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Salvation is to become a new creation in Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 – "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
Salvation is being adopted into God’s family.
Romans 8:15 – "The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship."
Salvation is receiving the gift of grace, not earned by works.
Ephesians 2:8-9 – "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Hallelujah!
