What
is Salvation?
Millions of professing Christians believe they are "saved."
But from what are they saved?
How and when does salvation take place? Let’s cut through the confusion
and understand the truth.
By Noel Nornor
What
is salvation? Why do we need it? How do we receive it, and when? If salvation
results in everlasting life—as Christianity teaches— what will those
who are saved do for all eternity? What is the penalty for those who
fail to achieve salvation?
If Christians rely on the Bible for their knowledge of these matters, why do
we find so many differing beliefs?
The publishers of The Good News believe the Bible is the revealed Word
of God. In this article we see what the Bible teaches about salvation. As we
do this, we discover that some popular views aren’t supported in the Scriptures.
You should read for yourself what God’s Word teaches on this subject. It
is much too important to simply accept what you’ve been told. You need
to prove it from the Bible—because your happiness and your eternal life
are at stake.
Salvation simply means the act of saving. When used in a religious sense, to
save means to rescue someone from the eternal consequences of sin. Everyone
needs salvation because, as the Bible tells us, "all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God," and the wages of sin is death (Romans 3:23;
6:23).Read the full article at www.gnmagazine.org/issues/gn40/salvation.htm
