See {{Infobox_Contents | topic_name = Salvation | subtopics = [[Becoming a Christian]], [[Grace]], [[Sin]], [[Repentance]], [[Forgiveness]], [[Justification]], [[Righteousness]]* [[Assurance]] | opinion_pieces = {{short_opinions}}* {{ebd}} * [[Salvation (justforcatholics.org)]]* [[How to be saved (Compass)]] | }} Salvation is the word used to describe [[God]]'s rescue of his people. It is especially used to describe the work of God in saving his people from [[sin]] and condemnation, resulting in forgiveness, [[righteousness]] and [[eternal life]]. The word '''soteriology'' is the theological word for the study of salvation . It is derived from the Greek word [[soteria]], which means “salvation”. Salvation is an incredibly important Christian spiritual concept. The [[Bible]] reveals that all people need to be saved (or redeemed) from the consequences of their sin. It teaches that the only way we can receive this salvation is because of [[Jesus]] who came as the saviour for humanity, to restore people into a right relationship with God. ===New Testament passages=== The New Testament speaks about God's salvation for humanity as coming through Jesus, especially in Paul's writings such as the [[Epistle to the Romans]]. Some key passages in the New Testament concerning salvation include [[John 3:16]] and grace[[Romans 5:8]] , both of which speak about God's incredible love for us. John 3:16 is perhaps one of the most famous Biblical verses and reads that "''{{Bible verse|John|3|16|lang=WEB}}''"". Romans 5:8 teaches that "{{Bible verse|Romans|5|8|lang=WEB}}". Romans also speaks about our evil and sin separating us from God in passages such as [[What does salvation mean?Romans 3:23]] which states that "''{{Bible verse|Romans|3|23|lang=WEB}}''" and [[Romans 5:12]] which states that "''{{Bible verse|Romans|5|12|lang=WEB}}''" According to the New Testament, Jesus paid this penalty of death for our sins so that we could receive eternal life. [[Romans 6:23]] is an important verse that speaks about this, stating "''{{Bible verse|Romans|6|23|lang=WEB}}'' Passages like [[Romans 10]]:9-14, it is through turning from these sins and believing in Jesus that we receive this gift of eternal life, stating "''{{Bible verse|Romans|10|9|lang=WEB}} {{Bible verse|Romans|10|10|lang=WEB}} {{Bible verse|Romans|10|11|lang=WEB}} {{Bible verse|Romans|10|12|lang=WEB}} {{Bible verse|Romans|10|13|lang=WEB}}''" {{stub}} ==Quotes== ==Links==* [http://www.praize.com/prayer/ Christian Prayer - Praize Prayer]* [http://www.crossfactor.com/152_Prayer.shtml Ihe CrossFactor Prayer]* [http://search.711.net/Faith/Prayer/ 711 Prayer Links]* [http://dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity/Prayer/ Open Directory]* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvation Wikipedia - Salvation] {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -> [[Christian doctrine and debates]] [[Category:Soteriology]][[Category:Theology]]
