meaning of salvation?

Answer 1

Something that saves oneself from oneself.

Answer 2

In Scripture 'salvation' means being saved from sin and from its consequences which is hell.
\
" I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me". -- Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6)

" Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved". (Acts 4:12)

Answer 3

In theology, salvation can mean three related things:

being saved from something, such as suffering or the punishment of sin - also called deliverance;

being saved for something, such as an afterlife or participating in the Reign of God - also called redemption;

being saved through a process of healing or transformation to wholeness, such as gaining secret knowledge, being deified or becoming Christlike - also referred to as the application of salve.

The theological study of salvation is called Soteriology and also covers the means by which salvation is effected or achieved, and its results or effects.

Answer 4

Lol to the first answerer ...The question is in Religion and spirituality..So obviously salvation means : Deliverance from the power or penalty of sin; redemption.... or Preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil by accepting Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviuor who died on the cross for our sins...

Answer 5

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Answer 6

Salvation is to be from the influence of birth, death, old age and disease and to be situated in one's eternal original constitutional position as pure spirit soul as against the material temporary nature.

Answer 7

There are hundreds of denominations of christians, each of them say they are "the one way to salvation". It's a centuries old battle of egos, just talk to any of them. If they had the true light of divinity they would not need to resort to insulting other and threating damnation to get you to convert.

Consider the lessons of the bible:
Deuteronomy 20:14
14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies.

Isaiah 22:12-14 (King James Version)
12And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
13And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.
14And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Lamentations 2:20-22 (King James Version)
20Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.
22Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

Not all Christians are bad, in fact most are really good people. However most have not read the bible, only a few verses or stories in it. Which is a good thing, I'd have to meet a Christian who follows even half of what that book says to do.

Answer 8

Believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, rose again, and is sitting at the right hand of God in Heaven, and is coming again. Hallelujah!

Answer 9

Your sin-debt was paid in full by Christ therefore you have become an adopted child of God and joint heir with Christ.

You get to inherit the kingdom of heaven and not taste the final death.

Answer 10

You are saved by Jesus dieing on the cross and you get to go to heaven.
