What Is Salvation?

Salvation is God’s plan to provide man an escape from the consequences of sin. Being saved or born-again is the most important experience in your life (John 3:3, 15, 16). When you confess Jesus as Lord and Savior, you experience the new birth.  Every abundant blessing He has for us is freely available in salvation (Romans 10:9-10). 
The word salvation comes from the Greek word soteria, which means saved, healed, delivered, pardoned, rescued, protected, preserved, made whole, cured, set free, and restored.

WHAT SALVATION IS NOT
Salvation is not any of the things most people think or have been taught such as confirmation, church membership, water baptism, taking the sacrament, observing religious duties, going to church, saying prayers, reading the ‘Bible, memorizing creeds, nor doing good deeds.  To be saved you must be born-again (John 3:14-18; Romans 10:9-10).
Imagine going through life constantly criticized for your imperfections, never having a way out, forever making payments for a debt you will never be able to pay off.  When we receive Jesus as Lord, all that He is becomes ours.  Salvation is for everyone, it's FREE, and YOU can have it NOW.
