Salvation is a gift of God's unmerited favor to all
that He has chosen. It is wholly God's work from start
to finish, and cannot be obtained by good works. It is
attained by all that believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
and His finished work on the cross. Salvation results in
forgiveness of sins, righteous status before God, and
adoption into God's spiritual family.
John 1:12
12 But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, even to those who believe in His
name,
John 14:6
6 Jesus *said to him,
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one
comes to the Father but through Me.
Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of
sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:21
21 He made Him who
knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might
become the righteousness of God in Him.
Galatians 3:26
26 For you are all
sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 1:7
7 In Him we have
redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our
trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace you
have been saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not
as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Titus 2:11-14
11 For the grace of God has
appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing
us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live
sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking
for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of
our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who
gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless
deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own
possession, zealous for good deeds.
Titus 3:5
5 He saved us, not on
the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness,
but according to His mercy, by the washing of
regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
