What is Salvation?

Answer 1

good question. but read the Bible and pray that God shows you what Salvation is. many have there own opinions. here is what i believe

i believe we must except Jesus as our Lord and saviour. however there is more then just this. or many things that this will imply. i believe we must be baptized in Jesus name. and filled with the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues or utterance as evidance. and then keeping Gods commands. obeying him and doing his will not our will. and i believe we are to live for God and live as christ did and be christ like. i believe we are saved thru our works but not works alone. the Bible does not say we are not saved by our works. it says we are not saved by our works alone. we still have to have faith in God but having faith and believing in him. we will do his works. we wont be ashamed to invite people to church. ask to share Gods word with them or anything else.

again pray and ask God to show you.

Answer 2

The word salvation comes from salvage. In other words if you had something that was of no more value and you wanted to throw it away but you witnessed something that was still good, you would keep it. This is what God is saying. come as you are and accept the word of God in Christ Jesus and allowthe wreckage of your soul to be salvaged and to be renewed so you can live in the divine light of salvation for eternity.

Answer 3

Answer 4

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten so that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Basically that says it all..Jesus is the only way to salvation from your sins. He is the only way to eternal life. He needs to be the #1 in your life before all else.

Answer 5

ask 10 different Christians and you will get 10 different answers. Each one claiming to be THE right answer. I struggled with the answer for many years. and Now I think I have THE answer. God sacraficed a flesh and blood Him. to fullfill the blood oath made between Abraham and God in Gen. everyone who has broken the covenant between Abraham and God (Because it incompassed all mankind) God paid the price with his blood. (because it was a blood oath) and all those who hear this message and believe that Jesus Christ was the fulfillment of that "deal" then they are covered by the outcome which is forgiveness. So best explanation I have is Hear, Believe, Be saved.

Answer 6

Salvation is being saved from something. Now if you are refferring to a spiritual salvation now that means that you have repented (turned away from) your sins and have decided to follw Jesus by reading his word.

Answer 8

Salvation: Preservation or deliverance from danger or destruction. That deliverance may be from the hands of oppressors or persecutors. For all true Christians, Jehovah provides through his Son deliverance from the present wicked system of things as well as salvation from bondage to sin and death. For a great crowd of faithful servants of Jehovah living during “the last days,” salvation will include preservation through the great tribulation.

Once a person is saved, is he always saved? Jude 5, RS: “I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” (Italics added.) Matt. 24:13, RS: “He who endures to the end will be saved.” (So a person’s final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus.) Phil. 2:12, RS: “As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” (This was addressed to “the saints,” or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.)

Heb. 10:26, 27, RS: “If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.” (Thus the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sins a person may commit after he is “saved” he will not lose his salvation. It encourages faithfulness. See also Hebrews 6:4-6, where it is shown that even a person anointed with holy spirit can lose his hope of salvation.)

Is anything more than faith needed in order to gain salvation?
Eph. 2:8, 9, RS: “By grace [“undeserved kindness,” NW] you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God—not because of works, lest any man should boast.” (The entire provision for salvation is an expression of God’s undeserved kindness. There is no way that a descendant of Adam can gain salvation on his own, no matter how noble his works are. Salvation is a gift from God given to those who put faith in the sin-atoning value of the sacrifice of his Son.) Heb. 5:9, RS: “He [Jesus] became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him.” (Italics added.) (Does this conflict with the statement that Christians are “saved through faith”? Not at all. Obedience simply demonstrates that their faith is genuine.) Jas. 2:14, 26, RS: “What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.” (A person does not earn salvation by his works. But anyone who has genuine faith will have works to go with it—works of obedience to the commands of God and Christ, works that demonstrate his faith and love. Without such works, his faith is dead.) Acts 16:30, 31, RS: “‘Men, what must I do to be saved?’ And they [Paul and Silas] said, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.’” (If that man and his household truly believed, would they not act in harmony with their belief? Certainly.)
