It is especially used to describe the work of God in delivering saving his people from bondage of [[sin]] and condemnation, resulting in forgiveness, [[righteousness]] and [[eternal life]]. In theology,  The word '''soteriology'' is the theological word for the study of salvation . It is called soteriology, derived from the Greek word [[soteria]] meaning , 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.

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 [[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 alsospeaks about our evil and sin separating us from God in passages such as [[Romans 3:23]] which states that "''{{Bible verse|Romans|3|23|lang=WEB}} ''" and [[Romans 5:12]] which states that "''{{ebdBible 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.
